YouTuber Raavan has been booked under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and remanded to 14-day judicial custody in Andhra Pradesh for allegedly uploading a video praising the banned Communist Party of India (Maoist).

Paparao, a key leader of the Communist Party of India (Maoist), has surrendered after operating for over two decades deep inside the Indravati–Abujhmad forests, marking a significant turning point in Bastar.

Thippiri Tirupathi -- a former Maoist leader and the next in line for the general secretary post in the banned Communist Party of India (Maoist) -- has claimed that the Telangana government's claim of their recent "surrender" -- is misleading.
