BRAHMAPUR: Ganjam police have arrested three hardcore Maoists, including two women cadres. Ganjam District Superintendent of Police Rajesh Pandit informed the arrested red rebels were members of Bhanjanagar-Chatisgarh division of the banned Maoist outfit. According to Pandit, the trio came with around 70 cadres led by one Maoist leader Appa Rao to Odisha.
They were identified as Malati Majhi (28) alias Lata, Telam Soni (22) alias Ratna (both women) and Kadame Bulu (19) alias Bija. Malati, who joined in the Maoists outfit in 2007, was from Bujuli under Daringibadi police station. She was organising meetings and motivating people to join their party. She was involved in Nayagada attack, Asurabandha dacoity case, landmine blast in different areas and other murder cases.
Ratna, who joined in the party two years back, was from Chatisgarh. She was also motivating the people to join their party. She was involved in an attack on CRPF jawans and salwajodum members. While Bija, the male cadre from Chatisgarh working for Bastar division, was an active member and also a motivator since 2008. He was involved in a landmine blast at Srirampur.
On February 1 this year also Ganjam police arrested three hardcore Maoists from Kandhamal district. The arrested red rebels were identified as Jaya Nayak, Biswanath Pradhan and Rabindranath, all residents of Ramnabadi under Daringibadi police station in Kandhamal district.
Some Maoists revealed that the Chatisgarh Maoists are giving torture to the Odisha cadres as the internal crisis is going on between the cadres of the States. Meanwhile, senior Maoist leader Sabyasachi Panda threatened to disrupt the election of the ongoing three-tier panchayati raj system if the police did not release the three cadres immediately.
