Amid the prevailing uncertainty over the release of the three Bihar policemen by Maoists, the opposition RJD today expressed optimism that they would be released 'anytime soon'.
"RJD is hopeful about the release of the three policemen by the Maoists," party national spokesman Ram Kripal Yadav told a press conference in Patna.
He, however, sought to make political capital by saying that the optimism about the release had been made possible due to sustained pressure by the opposition led by RJD.
The Maoists had kidnapped four Bihar policemen, sub-inspectors Abhay Prasad Yadav, Rupesh Kumar, Bihar Military Police havildar Mohammad Ehsaan and assistant sub-inspector Lukas Tete from Kajra in Lakhisarai district following an encounter on August 29.
Tete was killed by Maoists on September 2 and his body was found in Lakhisarai.
