The CRPF, meanwhile, recovered a huge cache of arms and ammunition from the house of Badal Hembram, a suspected Maoist who is absconding, at Porihati Sagori village in Jamboni. A .303 rifle, two country-made revolvers, hand bombs, two batteries, one kilogram of explosives and some electric wire were recovered by joint forces during the raid at Hembram's house.
The raid came after CRPF arrested another suspected Maoist Jogen Tutu, 28, in the early hours of Tuesday. A resident of Joram village in Belpahari, Jogen was arrested from Siarbrinda in Binpur. The CRPF recovered Jogen's mobile from him which had Hembram's number on the contact list. On going through the list further, CRPF found names of people in different parts of Jangalmahal, Odisha, Jharkhand and Chattisgarh, all areas where Maoists are active. During interrogation, Jogen admitted Hembram was engaged in stockpiling arms. On cross-checking with their wanted list, CRPF realized Hembram was an absconding Maoist suspect. Jogen also confessed during interrogation that he kept an eye on the CRPF camp at Binpur and had shifted to the area from his Belpahari home for the purpose.
CRPF IG Jibesh Sahai said the force was intensifying its operations in Jangalmahal alongside Bengal police ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. "I myself visited three CRPF camps in Lalgarh today," the IG said.
