Kolkata STF arrests Maoist leader absconding for 15 years; Suvendu Adhikari says, "Won't let 'Red Terror' spread in the state"
West Bengal: The police have achieved a major breakthrough in West Bengal. The Special Task Force (STF) of the Kolkata Police has arrested a key leader of the CPI (Maoist). The accused has been identified as Asim Mandal, alias Akash; he is a member of the CPI (Maoist) Central Committee.
This Maoist leader had been absconding for nearly 15 years. During this period, he remained in hiding within the dense forests of various states. Police tracked his location following a tip-off and subsequently carried out the arrest. Technical intelligence is said to have played a crucial role in this operation.
West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari reacted to the arrest, commending the police and the concerned officials. The Chief Minister stated that this operation exemplifies the police force's efficiency and capability. He made it clear that no attempt to revive the 'Red Terror' network in the state would be tolerated. Extremist ideologies will not be allowed to compromise the safety of the state's people. He further asserted that strict action would be taken against any such attempts to hinder the state's development.
Police interrogation is currently underway. Authorities are questioning Asim Mandal about his past contacts and individuals linked to the Maoist network. Efforts are also being made to determine the specific areas where he had been staying during his time in hiding.
Given that the arrest involves a significant leader of the Maoist organization, investigative agencies are now focusing on gathering information about his entire network.
