New Delhi : The interrogation of a senior Naxal leader caught recently by the security forces in Bihar has reportedly revealed a link between them and insurgent groups in the Northeast. Shambhu, a member of the Naxal ‘Central Military Commission’, is believed to have been active in Bihar and Jharkand.Delhi has long suspected such a link, and hopes to find out whether it extends from training to supply of arms and ammunition from Shambhu’s interrogation.
As per sources in the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), the 48-hour bandh called by Maoists in Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal and Orissa was primarily prompted by the arrest of Shambhu and Chandrashekhar Gorebale, a member of the CPI (Maoist) state committee who was recently caught in Andhra Pradesh.
Apart from this, say sources, the Maoists had also been rattled by other successes by security forces recently, including a raid by the CRPF in Gaya jungles in Bihar yielding a large amount of explosives and the destruction of a Maoist camp near the Jharkhand-Orissa border. Security forces have also arrested several Naxal leaders and activists recently.
