Abducted cop’s parents appeal to Maoists for his release
October 21st, 2009 - 1:15 am ICT by IANSKolkata, Oct 20 (IANS) Anxiety writ large on their faces, parents, relatives and friends of abducted police station officer-in-charge Atindranath Dutta Tuesday night appealed to the Maoists to set him free.
“This is an appeal from an old man, a father. If he is freed, we will all live. I appeal to the Maoists to spare him,” said the police officer’s father Ashok Dutta, a resident of Belur in neighbouring Howrah district.
The police officer’s mother, Indrani Dutta, who spoke to top Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leader Kishanjee pleading for her son’s release, said: “My son is a very good man. He is not like the other OCs. He has a small child”.
Dutta, a meritorious student, who holds a Master’s in chemistry, joined as OC Of Sankrail police station two months back.
The Left-wing extremists abducted Dutta at gunpoint from his quarters and brought him to the police station under Jhargram sub-division of West Bengal’s West Midnapore district. There they killed two of his subordinates, and then abducted him to their hideout.
