The caretaker of Chaibasa circuit house was arrested on September 22, for his links with a Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leader and for passing on information about VIP visits to the rebel outfit, reports The Telegraph. Superintendent of Police (SP) of West Singhbhum, Michael Raj, said, caretaker Birendra Das (35), a resident of Bhuni village in Bodam block of Patamda, was arrested after his cellphone call details record suggested he had had frequent conversations with a Maoist leader identified as Shankar Sirka, a native of neighbouring Bihar. "The phone SIM used by Birendra was issued barely a month and a half ago, but in the name of one Nirmala Kui who died on February 11, 2016. Her husband Abhiram Hembram told Police that Nirmala never had the number (7482982923), which Birendra used to stay in connection with Sirka," the SP said. The SIM, according to Police, was sold by a Chaibasa-based mobile shop Balaji Sales. "Acting on a tip-off and CDR (call details record), we picked up Birendra for interrogation and later arrested him," SP Raj said. During interrogation, Birendra told Police that two months ago, a man introduced himself as Sirka, a native of Jamui District in Bihar, and took him to Jagannathpur (in West Singhbhum) in an SUV. "There were 15 armed men present. Sirka apparently asked the caretaker to share information about the visits of senior Police officers and VIPs to the Circuit House.
