Bhima Koregaon: Arrested activists with Maoist links were identified in 2012 by UPA

Amid the severe backlash it has been receiving following the arrest of a few activists suspected to have Maoist links, the government has said that as many as 128 organisations believed to be having links with ultras were identified by the Congress-led government in 2012. Some of those arrested by the Pune Police in a country-wide crackdown earlier this week were part of these groups which acted as 'front face' of the rebels.
