January 24, 2012
In Jharkhand, Maoists today claimed to have set free Garhwa zilla parishad chairperson Sushma Mehta and two others, but kept her security guard in their custody. 

"We have released the chairperson, her driver Ahmed and CPI (ML-Liberation) leader Akhtar Ansari at a spot. They will be reaching their residences by this evening," CPI (Maoist) leader Sudhir said over phone in Latehar. 

He said Mehta's security guard Sunesh Ram was still in their custody and would be freed only after their conditions were met.
