"After the threat call was received by the Cuttack doctor and Rs 50 lakh was demanded on the pretext of Naxal protection money, we started a probe. We found that the accused had used a SIM which was procured from (and activated in) Dhenkanal using forged documents," said Pradhan.
ACP further said that they had made special teams to track the accused after his sim card indicated the locations of Keonjhar, Mayurbhanj in Odisha and neighbouring Jharkhand.
He also added "After a mounting protracted technical surveillance and on basis of ground intelligence, we finally managed to nab the accused on February 1. One mobile phone and two SIM cards have been seized from his possession. Further investigation is underway to ascertain his links with any Naxal group".
