Maoist Brutality In West Midnapore


The Maoists, backed by Trinamool Congress, has once again showed their barbarous nature when they killed 5 CPI(M) leaders and activists within a span of 24hours in West Midnapore district.

One of the killed CPI(M) supporter was beheaded near Lalgarh. The bullet-riddled body of Ganesh Ahir was found on a road near Binpur’s Paluidanga, around 6km from his home in Lalgarh’s Rasikpur from where he had been dragged away. The severed head had been placed on the right hand. Ganesh’s nephew Madhu is a member of the party and his entire family was supporter of the party . Ganesh Ahir was agricultural labourer.

The murder came as a chilling reminder of the manner in which Jharkhand inspector Francis Induwar was abducted and beheaded in October last year.

In the other incident, which occurred in Salboni, Rohin Patar, a zonal committee member of CPI(M) and Pashupati Singh, a panchayat pradhan were shot by Maoists while they were returning from local panchayat samiti office for work related to the revision of electoral rolls.

Rohin Patar, 32, was a very popular Party leader. Pashupati, 55, was a local committee member of the CPI(M) also. They were attacked near a forest stretch in Godamouli. Local people alleged that the Trinamool workers tipped off the Maoists about the presence of the CPI(M) leaders there.

On Monday, CPI(M) local committee member Sushil Mahato and party member Paresh Rana were brutally killed in Sankrail .

The people of Shalboni and Sankrail came out in streets defying terror to protest against these murders. The villagers in Shalboni observed ‘arandhan” (no cooking) in their homes too.

Meanwhile an ICDS worker, Sampriti Mahato was forcibly abducted from her home in Belatikri in Binpur. Mahato, also a DYFI local leader was abducted after Maoists attacked her family members including her mother. Her whereabouts are still not known. With this, 11 women have been abducted and some of them murdered in Jangal Mahal area in this year.

In yet another incident , Debendranath Singh, a teacher of Kajla primary School in Jhargram sub-division was abducted by the Maoists. Singh's family members alleged that Friday he went to school and from there he went to sub-divisional school inspector office to attend a meeting. On his way back, he was picked up by three suspected Maoists, who came riding on motorcycles.

Biman Basu, West Bengal state secretary of CPI(M) condemned brutality of the Maoists. Dipak Sarkar, secretary of West Midnapore district committee of CPI(M) has strongly condemned these heinous crimes by the Maoists. “ Maoists and their Trinamool cohorts are indulging in these crimes in desperation as they have been forced to back out from many areas by the people”, he said.
