West bengal maoists: Big questions over ‘big catch’
The recent ‘big catch’ of the Kolkata Police, that is the arrest of four top ranking CPI (Maoist) leaders, comes with several questions.
The police have arrested CPI (Maoist) state secretary Sudip Chongdar alias Kanchan, state committee members Barun Sur alias Bidyut and Akhil Ghosh alias Ajay and Bimal Mallick alias Shankar. The police claim that the Maoists, including Kanchan, were arrested from the Maidan area of Kolkata in the wee hours of December 3. The police also arrested Maoist Kalpana Maity alias Anu, the wife of party’s state committee member Asim Mondal alias Akash.
The interesting thing is that the arrests were totally peaceful. The Maidan area remains very dark during the night and has lots of small and medium bushes. The proximity of the area with football grounds and Army Headquarters is another topographical advantage for the terrorists as they can easily hide behind the bushes in the dark. How the police traced the Maoists in such an area remains unanswered. Usually, top Maoist leaders move around with a few of their armed activists covering them. There are always two to three armed guards with every leader. However, in the case of the recent arrests, not a single bullet was fired from either side. People are finding it hard to believe that the Maoists did not fire a single shot when they were apprehended and just fell into the police net like ripe plums!
Another interesting aspect is that none of the arrested leaders is from tribal community or from the Junglemahal area. Kanchan is from Garbeta, the den of controversial CPI(M) leader and minister Sushanta Ghosh. Bidyut is a resident of another CPM stronghold Jangipara, presently represented by the Higher Education Minister of the state. Ajay is from Banshdroni of Kolkata itself and Shankar is from Sodepur in North 24-Parganas. Some of the insiders indicate that Kanchan was under the scanner on several issues including his anti-tribal approach. He reportedly ordered several Adivasis to be killed on the slightest suspicion of them being police informers or pro-CPM. “His activities have lessened the Maoists' influence among the Adivasis in the Junglemahal area,” said a source.
Kanchan, who become the state secretary in 2008 after the arrest of Himadri Basu Roy alias Soumen in 2008, started his political career as an SFI leader at Kamarpukur. His elder brothers are active members of CPM and one of them, Prof. Rabindra Chongdar, is a member of the CPI(M) West Midnapore district committee. However, people believe that the recent arrests may well be a case of surrender against several assurances.
