They're also looking for his wife, Alluri Krishna Kumari alias Sujatha, also an SZC member, their bodyguard, Mantu, and his Odia wife.

A police officer requesting anonymity said, "It's a group of four: three Telugu speakers and an Odia, but it is unlikely that they are anywhere in Chhattisgarh." [air whooshing] When the police looked for cues to track down the seventy-six-year-old Ganapathi, they stumbled on a new lead: the presence of a mysterious Assamese Maoist, Rituparno Goswami, in Bastar at least till 2019.
