Just in: Maoist leader Sabyasachi Panda's wife has been acqutted in an encounter case and will be freed soon. The set by Naxals for the Orissa government to free 30 jailed cadres in exchange for BJD MLA Jhina Hikaka ends today.

The government had agreed to free over 27 jailed Naxals in return for the MLA and Italian tourist Paolo Boscusco who is being held captive by another Naxal faction in Kandhamal.

But the state police has come out strongly against the government, threatening to boycott all anti-Naxal operations if all those arrested are released.
