Activists' arrest part of UPA's 128 bodies identified for links with Maoists, say officials

As many as 128 organisations suspected to be having links with Maoists were identified by the UPA Government in 2012 and some of those arrested by the Maharashtra Police in recent crackdown were part of these front groups of the red ultras, officials said on Wednesday. As the Government received flak for the arrest of a few rights activists for suspected Naxal links, officials came out with a list, prepared by the then UPA dispensation in 2012, of organisations “having connections with the Maoists”.
