Gondia, March 30: Two surrendered Maoists in Maharashtra decamped with a couple of AK-47 guns and ammunitions from a heavily guarded police sub-divisional office, police sources said today.

The incident occurred at Deoli police sub-divisional office in east Vidarbha last night when Maoists Arjun and Korcha escaped on a police motorcycle carrying two guns, a hand-grenade and seven magazines.

The Maoists had surrendered to the police last year and were supposedly under constant police surveillance, sources said.The incident created embarrassment for the police top brass as chief minister Mr Vilasrao Deshmukh was also visiting the district today.
