Maoists let off abducted junior engineer Pabitra Majhi on Wednesday, at a spot in Chitrakonda, even as they set three more conditions for the release of IAS officer R Vineel Krishna. Both Krishna and Majhi were abducted from the Chitrakonda area of Malkangiri district on 16th this month.

The rebels dropped Majhi at a village, from where he came to Chitrakonda by bike. Maoist leader Ganti Prasadam, whose release the ultras had demanded, got bail but refused to come out of jail unless his comrades.

Earlier in the day at a press conference in Malkangiri, Majhi said, Krishna is fine & the Maoists have said they will free him in 48 hours.
