Prominent Maoist leader Sabyasachi Panda alias Sunil today "claimed responsibility" for the murder of VHP leader Swami Laxmananda Saraswati and four others, which lead to large scale flare-up in Orissa's Kandhamal district, on two regional news channels.
A Maoist leader, identified as Panda, told the reporters of the two private Oriya television channels at an undisclosed destination, that the Maoist outfit decided to eliminate Saraswati as he was "spreading social unrest" in the tribal dominated district.

The Maoist leader reportedly said that they had earlier asked Saraswati to desist from "such works" or face consequences.
"As Saraswati did not pay heed to our warning, he was killed," Panda told the reporters, adding that they have also issued similar warnings to 14 other persons, mostly belonging to the sangh parivar in Kandhamal.
According to the reporters who attended the secret meet, they had to walk miles before holding a talk with Panda. They were asked to come on one vehicle without the knowledge of the police.Panda was one of the most wanted maoist by the Orissa police, official sources said.There was no official reaction to the startling disclosure in the channels.

Three people in Indian state of Orissa have been arrested in connection with the murder of a Hindu leader and they shall be produced in the court and more arrest are likely to follow.

It was stated before also by them, but authorities concerned are keeping blind and deaf to spread violence against innocent people.

As a wrangler you should know not to paste an entire article from another source, also editors should know not to good stuff it.
