Maoists are my brothers : Cop’s wife

Patna : Reacting to her husband’s release from Maoist dens in Bihar’s Lakhisarai jungle after about nine days in captivity, Kanti Devi, wife of sub-inspector Abhay Prasad Yadav, said the rebels are her ‘brothers’ and she is thankful to them.

Kanti Devi was assured by Maoist leader Kishenji on Sunday that her husband would get freedom.

” Maoists are my brothers and I thank them as well as to my God. And I’m grateful to my brothers (Maoists) for keeping words,” said Kanti Devi, with tears rolling down her cheeks while interacting with media at her Krishna Nagar village in remote Begusarai.

“I’m desperately waiting for my husband to return. I also thank the Bihar administration who considered my husband as their son. On behalf of the entire village, my children, I thank the Bihar government. I will be indebted to my Maoist brothers till the time I’m alive,” she said.

Meanwhile, sub-inspector Rupesh Kumar Sinha, one of the three abducted policemen, said he is alive by ‘God’s grace’.
“I am alive because of God’s grace and blessings of my parents and family. I am extremely happy,” Sinha said after being released by the Maoists Monday morning.

Superintendent of Police, Lakhisarai, Ranjit Kumar Mishra said all those involved in taking the policemen hostage will be brought to justice.
“Those involved in it will be brought to justice. We will take action,” he said.
