AP leaders in the Maoists' central military commission planned the bloody attacks in Nayagarh town in Orissa on February 15. Maoists killed 13 policemen and looted about 1,200 weapons.
Police suspects that M. Balakrishna, Andhra-Orissa border (AOB) special zonal committee secretary, played a key role in the execution of the CMC's decision to attack the town.
A senior police official said, "We strongly suspect the involvement of central military commission members T. Keshava Rao and Tirupati who come from AP."
Officials said that the prime motive behind the attack by the Maoists was to loot sophisticated weapons like AK-47, the Insas automatic rifles and self loading rifles.
AP Maoists have previously carried out similar attacks at Koraput in February 2004 and at R. Uadayagiri in March 2006.
In Chhattisgarh, the Dandakaranya special zonal committee secretary G. Ashok alias Kosa alias Satyanarayana Reddy is suspected to be behind the recent attacks.
"AP Maoists are experts in planning and executing such massive attacks. Local tribals are used as support troops and human shields," said an intelligence official.
The state police anticipates trouble in North Telangana, Khammam and the AOB zone.
The AOB consists of the districts of Malkangir, Koraput, Rayagad and Gajapati in Orissa and Srikakulam, Vizianagaram, Visakhapatnam and East Godavari of Andhra Pradesh.
A senior official of the anti-naxalite agency observed, "it is a threat to the state. They may now look towards Andhra Pradesh again."
