Maoists regrouping in Jangalmahal to disrupt elections
Maoists are regrouping in tribal Jangalmahal area of Bankura ahead of
the Lok Sabha polls to disrupt elections, Bankura superintendent of
police Mukesh Kumar said today. A large cache of arms, suspected to
belong to the Maoists, were seized by the joint force from Valukchira
forest of Sarenga in Jangalmahal on Tuesday night, he said. The 66 CRPF
Battalion during the search in the forest seized one carbine which was
found buried in the ground, besides 900 cartridges, eight detonators, 25
gelatin sticks, five .315 rifles, 10 indigenous guns, one double barrel
gun and one grenade, he said. A wanted Maoist Gorkha Singh Sardar
hailing from Belpahari in neighbouring West Midnapore district was
arrested on March 30 from Barikul in Bankura district. Sardar, alleged
to have been involved in a number of subversive activities, was sent to
police custody for five days.
