Released Italian hostage: Naxals treated me well

Meanwhile, Italian Ambassador Giacomo Sanfelice di Monteforte, along with the country's Consul-General, met Paulo Bosusco shortly after he was brought to the state guest house here.

Describing his nearly month-long stay in captivity of the Maoists as an "unforgettable" experience, Bosusco said he was treated well by his captors. "I am in good health. They did not cause any harm. I will never forget this experience in my life time," he said.

Bosusco's release came a day after Sabyasachi Panda in an audio message had welcomed the state government's decision to release some rebels from jails, giving the first indication that an early resolution of the Italian hostage crisis was in the offing.
