When we investigated this, we found out that Vivek Singh, currently a resident of Raipur and originally from Mohla Manpur, had booked the tickets online. Vivek Singh used to talk to Sarju Tekam regularly. Sarju Tekam sent him money through someone and Vivek Singh booked tickets for Sarju Tekam and his other companions."

Who are the other Naxal associates? Sonaram Farsa, Vijay Durri, Ramlal Karma, and Rajendra Kadti, all four are residents of the Bijapur district. Vivek Singh Manpur is currently a resident of Raipur who has been arrested. All of them used to threaten tendu leaf contractors and extort money from them. In the year 2022, the target was to recover Rs 1 crore. In just 8 months, Naxal associates had collected 60 lakh rupees. Rajendra Kadti's elder brother is also a Naxal commander in Bhairamgarh. They used to deliver cash, ration and medicines by extorting from contractors. They used to help with the urban network. He put money in Vivek Singh's account at the behest of Sarju Tekam. After this, Vivek got the tickets booked."
