Malkangiri: Three hardcore Maoists were arrested in Malkangiri district even as two senior members of Kalimela Dalam of the outlawed CPI(Maoist) could manage to flee, the police said.

The ultras arrested from Batiguda forests in Kalimela police station area were identified as Bhima Padiami, Deba Madhi and Ganga Sodi of Rajolkanda gram panchayat area.
