Andhra Police Question Students at Maoist Site
Some college students went to a place where police had a fight with bad guys called Maoists.
The police asked the students some questions to make sure everything was okay.
The students didn't give their family's phone numbers, but the police just wanted to tell their families they were safe.
There were also some big protests against the Maoists because people want better roads and hospitals.
The police said there might be more bad guys coming from nearby states.
Eight students from Osmania University and the University of Hyderabad were questioned by police after visiting a Maoist encounter site in Andhra Pradesh.
Police gunned down 13 Maoists over two days in 'Operation Sambhav' in Maredumilli mandal.
