Telegraph reports that five Left Wing Extremists (LWE) cadres were arrested from different parts of Ranchi District on April 14. Three cadres of the People's Liberation Front of India (PLFI), a break away faction of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) were arrested from Bajra Bridge, about 15 kilometres from the District Headquarters in Itki, while two Maoist cadres identified as Basudev Hazam and Istomani alias Basanti, were arrested from near Rocky Cinema in the Bundu Police Station area in the District. The three PLFI cadres are identified as Raj Kamal Gope (30), Manjula Kumari (20) and Shahnawaz (21). Raj Kamal Gope is the ‘zonal commander’ of the PLFI, while Manjula and Shahnawaz were his trusted lieutenants. “Gope is wanted in more than 20 cases of murder and extortion,” Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Praveen Kumar Singh said. According to the Police, Basudev and Basanti were actively associated with Maoist ‘zonal commander’ Kundan Pahan, known as the Veerapan of Jharkhand. “The Maoist duo was associated with the Kundan Pahan squad for a year and a half. But when the rebels sexually exploited the girl, both decided to stay away. To protect themselves from the wrath of Maoists, they preferred working as suppliers,” SSP Singh said. “I joined the organisation three months ago, but had remained in the squad for only six days. During my very brief association, Budhwa Pahan, an aide of Kundan Pahan, raped me four times,” Basanti said. “One foreign made pistol, 40 gelatine sticks, more than 50 live cartridges and one vehicle has been recovered," SSP Singh added.
