Bengali intelligence plants rumors that colleague-turned-foe betrayed Maoist leader
2011-12-05
With allegations of a fake encounter doing the rounds, intelligence sources in West Bengal on Sunday confirmed that it was a colleague-turned-foe who tipped off the security forces about the guerrilla leader's whereabouts.
They thot it was a crossfire. LOL.
Sources said Suchitra Mahato, the woman Maoist leader who successfully escaped the CRPF operation after Kishenji was killed, had mentioned that a person called Kalu was behind the tip-off.
Actually, I read two other stories that said the cops leaned on a peasant who was supplying food, and learned someone important was nearby.
After being wounded in the crossfire on that fateful night, Suchitra sought shelter in house of Pintu Tudu, a Maoist contact. She is said to have revealed to Pintu's mother Lalita that 'Kalu' was involved in the betrayal. Pintu later took her to a local quack Bhudeb Mahato at Sarakata village near Burishole for treatment.
Well, they certainly don't hesitate to call a spade a spade. "took her to a local quack" haha.
Bikash was the second commandant-in-chief, after Kishenji, during the Lalgarh movement. He was considered as the most suitable contender for the post of secretary of the party's state unit after Kanchan's arrest, sources said. After the state assembly elections, Bikash distanced himself from guerrilla activities in the forested belt. Responding to CM Mamata Banerjee's offer, he reportedly evinced willingness to surrender to the government.

When asked whether any insider gave the tip off to the security forces, state inspector general Gangeswar Singh said: "I am not in a position to comment on this now."
"I can say no more!"
