New Delhi: It's been 6 days since Alex Paul Menon was abducted and despite three rounds of talks, mediators and Naxals have failed to come up with any solution to free the Sukma collector.
In fact Naxals have increased their demands, seeking the release of nine more of their jailed leaders, including, Kartam Joga and Vijay Sodhi. The government has already missed one deadline to meet demands and is yet to respond to this latest request.
Further negotiations are expected to continue on Friday.
A bagful of medicines was delivered to the Naxals for the abducted collector and it suggests that it will take some time for the deadlock to end. The first deadline set by the Naxals has already ended and there is still no forward movement as far as negotiations are concerned.
Back at the district headquarters Alex's brother Anand is praying for his early release.
Meanwhile, there is no police movement in Bastar as all security forces have returned to barracks.
