Coimbatore: Maoist leader Roopesh and four others, who were arrested in Coimbatore on Monday, are likely to be questioned by Kerala police today. Top Maoist leader Roopesh, wanted in at least 20 cases in Kerala, wife Shina and three others, were arrested on Monday near Coimbatore in a “big breakthrough” for the police of four southern states. The Coimbatore police are questioning the group of Maoists and by afternoon they will be presented in the Coimbatore court.
However, Roopesh was not co-operating with the police and shot back questions at the officials instead, as per the sources. It is reported that the Maoist leader threw away his SIM cards and diary while entering the police Jeep. It was the locals who saw the evidence gave it to the police. The police are checking the contents of the diary and tracing the numbers from the SIM cards. The arrested persons include Roopesh’s wife… Besides the couple, others arrested were Anup from Kerala, Veeramani from Karnataka and Kannan from Tamil Nadu, the sources said, adding, all would be taken to Kerala for further questioning on the way to Andhra Pradesh. Big breakthrough Kerala Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala said on Monday night that the arrest of Roopesh and the others were made by Andhra police following a joint operation undertaken by Andhra, Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu police.
He said this was a “big breakthrough” and could be achieved due to ‘co-ordinated’ efforts of the four state governments. “At least five Maoists have been arrested. For the past two months, police of Andhra, Karnataka Kerala and Tamil Nadu were undertaking joint operations to nab them,” he said. “The Maoists are being questioned. Roopesh will be brought to Kerala,” he added.
