Vada Prasad is provided security and police picket is set up in his village. Despite all such measures, Vara Prasad writing letter to President seeking permission to join Maoists, saying he did not get justice is unfortunate," the DIG said.He added that Prasad's move seems to be motivated by "political forces"."Some political forces seem to have motivated him to do so.

Such comments send wrong signals to the people.
