Freed by Naxals after 12 days in captivity, Collector Alex Paul Menon today reached his home in Sukma this morning from Chintalnar in a helicopter and was accompanied by the two Maoist mediators - B D Sharma and Prof G Hargopal. Paul has been relieved of his duties as Collector.
The 32-year-old 2006-batch IAS officer, abducted on 21 April at Sukma, about 450 km from here, while touring a village, was handed over to the two Maoist mediators at Tadmetla last evening and was then brought by road to the CRPF base camp at Chintalnar, a 30-minute drive by road.
The agreement that was reached by the two mediators each of the Chhattisgarh government and the Maoists at their fourth round of talks on 30 April paved the
way for the release of the IAS officer.
