Acting on a tip-off, a team of 18 police personnel from the District
Police Office rounded up the 21 in the wee hours of Thursday after
staking out the houses where they were sheltering.
According to CPN sources, those arrested include Chanda Bahadur Chand
aka Birjung, who is an elder brother of the outlawed outfit’s chief,
Netra Bikram Chand. The elder Chand is also the outfit’s central
committee member and its Lumbini in-charge and mid-western command
in-charge.
Although all those arrested were brought to the District Police
Office at Ghorahi at about 11 am Thursday, police have not released any
further details.
Officials said they were unable to release the details as those
arrested have not given their correct names to the police. “We are
having some difficulty identifying them as they have declined to say
their names, and they have also been giving different home addresses,”
said Chief District Officer (CDO) of Dang, Govinda Rijal.
This is a major crackdown against the underground Maoist outfit. The
government had decided back in March to ban their activities and go on
the offensive. Security personnel have so far gunned down three senior
leaders of the CPN and arrested over 600 other leaders from the central
to the district level. This had decimated its entire structure.
In addition to the police killings, at least five cadres were killed
in Kathmandu when some bombs they were handling went off accidentally.
Sources at the CPN said the others arrested include the outfit’s
Rapti bureau in-charge Keshav Bahadur Bantha Mangar, Rapti bureau and
justice department committee district coordinator Yamlal Katuwal,
district secretary Pradeep Oli, Youth Organization Nepal central member
Babin KC, CPN-affiliated Sunil Paudel, area number 4 in-charge and
people’s council member Ekraj Chaudhary and area number 1 in-charge
Dhan Bahadur Bohara.
Former Maoist combatant Tilak Pun, district chairman of Dalit
Liberation Front Suraj BK, outfit member Hit Prasad Roka, and Rolpa
district committee members Posta Man Gharti, Dal Bahadur Khatri, Bal
Krishna Sharma, Jit Chhetri, Ramesh Acharya, Bishnu Thapa and Kul
Bahadur Oli are also among those arrested.
Police said they recovered a huge cache of arms and ammunition from
those arrested. They have not released any details about the types of
arms. Journalists were even barred taking photos of those arrested.
Sources also said some of the CPN leaders and cadres managed to make
a getaway. DSP Binod Bikram Shah at District Police Office, Dang said,
“We are currently working to establish the types of arms seized and the
quantity.”
Police had closed in after learning that a group of CPN leaders and
cadres were gathering in the area near the border with India for the
outfit’s Rapti bureau meeting. The police team set out from Ghorahi
Wednesday evening and reached the target village at about 2 am after
walking through dense forest for two hours. The CPN leaders were found
sleeping in one of the houses in the village. Senior leaders were in
the village for the meeting.
Preliminary investigations show that the meeting was meant to carry
out a review and set a new course of action as well as provide
orientation to the lower-rung leaders.
CDO Rijal said they will initiate legal action against those arrested
on the basis of any crimes they may have committed in the past.
