The Anti-Naxal Force (ANF) and police were on high alert following the tracking of Maoist movements in the villages of coastal Karnataka, sources stated on Monday.

The authorities said that the Maoists barged into the house near Cheru in Bilinele village in Kadaba taluk in Dakshina Kannada district recently. After barging into the house they switched off the light and asked the members to switch off their cell phones as well.

They asked the family to increase the volume of the television. During this time, some of the members of the Maoist team were keeping a watch on the front and back of the house. The Maoists had asked the family to cook rice and chicken curry.

They had watched a television soap while having dinner. They also charged their mobile phones, laptops and other equipment. The Maoists spoke in Kannada, Hindi and other languages. They then vanished into the jungle after having dinner and recharging their gadgets, sources stated.

After gathering news about the development, the ANF launched a search operation in the region and also in the forests of Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Chikkamagaluru districts.
