Actually, it's difficult to verify the demands of the Maoists vis a vis the guards - all one has is what comes out in the name of their 'spokesperson' in the media, which may well be wrong or planted. But the guard is still a hostage, that's for certain. And I don't think the Maoists have refuted the demands being attributed to them - viz, lifting of Green Hunt in the zone and removal of a police picket. If indeed there is some effort at mediation that's very welcome.
