Suspected Maoists kill CPI-M leader
November 3rd, 2010 - 9:46 pm ICT by IANSKolkata, Nov 3 (IANS) In two separate incidents in West Bengal’s West Midnapore district, a Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) supporter was allegedly killed by Maoists while five Maoist linkmen were arrested, police said Wednesday.
“A group of suspected Maoists attacked Bimal Das of Lalitashole village in Jhargram sub-division while he was standing in front of a bank. He was shot dead from point- blank range,” West Midnapore’s Additional Superintendent of Police (Operation) Mukesh Kumar told IANS.
According to eyewitnesses, a group of armed Maoists riding on motorbikes fired at Bimal twice and fled towards Indraboti forest Wednesday.
Bimal, a money lender, was threatened earlier by the Maoists and he stayed away from home for several months. Only recently he returned home and resumed his business, a villager said.
Meanwhile, police arrested five Maoist linkmen from Nayagram area in Jhargram sub-division.
“Shyamal Mudi alias Uday was arrested Tuesday night in connection with the triggering of landmine in a community hall. He was produced before Jhargram court and remanded in police custody for 14 days,” West Midnapore Police Superintendent Manoj Verma said.
The four others — Ranjan Ali, Sisir Pal, Sattya Ranjan and Samir Singh — were arrested during joint operation conducted Wednesday in cases of murder and damaging government property, the district police chief said.
