Maoists in Jharkhand feel insecure after arrest of Kobad Ghandy |
The arrest of Kobad Ghandy, a polit bureau member of the banned CPI (Maoist),
has jolted the Maoist outfits operating in Jharkhand and they are taking desperate
steps to secure his release. Kobad Ghandy, who is being projected by the Maoists
as a theoretician and the person in charge of projecting the movement, has been
exposed by his followers in the party who have taken to violence to secure his
release. Road and rail traffic have been disrupted by them and to cap it his followers
demanded that they would exchange persons in their custody to secure the release
of Kobad Gandhy. When they did not succeed in their efforts, the Maoists assassinated
police inspector Francis Enduwar. The decapacitated body of kidnapped police inspector
Francis Induwar was found by the Jharkhand Police on Tuesday. Deputy Inspector
General of Police (Jharkhand Range), R.K.Malik, said that Enduwar's headless body
was found at around 9.15 a.m. on the Jamshedpur-Ranchi Highway with a note from
the Naxals saying that they could expect more of the same treatment if their demands
were not acceded to. They claimed full responsibility for the killing of Enduwar.
DIG Malik said that Enduwar, who was kidnapped by the Maoists five days ago, appeared
to have been executed by a method popularly associated with the Taliban. He confirmed
that the Maoists had been demanding the release of two of their prominent leaders
Kobad Ghandy and Chatrodhar Mahato, who have been arrested by law enforcement
authorities in Delhi and West Bengal respectively. He said that the Maoists had
offered to handover three of their cadre in exchange for the release of Enduwar.
Enduwar's execution was carried out after the Government refused to release Ghandy
They felt that Ghandy arrest weakened their movement to an extent. Abhay, an area
commander, Communist Party of India (Maoist), criticised the government for arresting
their leader. "The way police had made arrest, it is not right. Our leader is
trying to lead a revolution. And our government is declaring this revolution as
terrorism. They want to end this revolution. But I want to say, they will not
be successful in doing, so as many Ghandys have already taken birth." said Abhay.
Another member of the Communist Party of India (Marxist Leninist) termed it as
unfair the way government is arresting their leaders. "The way Ghandy was arrested
is not right. People at helm say that they want to talk about this matter. The
Government in a way is terrorising us and it has become havoc now," said Anjani
Pandey, Communist Party of India) (Marxist Leninist), Secretary. Ghandy, who heads
the CPI (Maoist) publication wing, was nabbed in South Delhi following inputs
from intelligence agencies. He has been a part of the People's War Group (PWG)
since its initial stages. Ghandy also played an important role in fostering the
development of the front's organisations. In 1994, he was allegedly active in
floating a forum named the All India People's Resistance Forum. He had gone underground
after the merger of the Communist Party of India (Marxist Leninist), the People's
War Group and the Maoist Communist Centre of India in 2004 when the CPI (Maoist)
came into existence. |
