KOLKATA: With firing having erupted in West Midnapore district today, Maoist leader Kishenji demanded security forces stop it as a condition for
the release of two abducted drivers of Delhi-Bhubaneswar Rajdhani.
"The joint forces are firing on the People's Committee against Police Atrocities (PCPA). As per reports, at least two persons have died. We demand immediate cessation of the firing or we cannot guarantee the security of the drivers and the security of the passengers," Kishenji told PTI over phone.
The firing broke out at a place between Manikpara and Jhargram after the joint forces, comprising central security forces and the police, rushed to the spot.
The two drivers K Anantha Rao and K J Rao were abducted from the train at Banstala for which PCPA claimed responsibility.
Kishenji claimed PCPA supporters were angry at the firing and it would be difficult to control them.
"Bandh is a democratic right. Why have the security forces opened fire when PCPA has called a bandh? The government will have to stop the firing or else I cannot guarantee the security either of the passengers or drivers," Kishenji said.
"We are supporting the people who are agitating. They want Mamata Banerjee to come and listen to their problems," Kishenji said.
Patra also made the same demand. "If state government officials or the Railway Minister come, we will release the drivers. If they come today we will release them today.
"We have a 22-point demand. The joint forces are committing atrocities on us branding us as Maoists. Our leader Chhadradhar Mahato has been framed," he said.
The kidnap took place, days after the abduction of Sankrail police station officer-in-charge Atindranath Dutta on October 20 who was later released.
PCPA activists disrupted traffic movement in several parts of the district. They burnt down a lorry at Pitrapuli near Salboni, SDO Ulganathan said, adding PCPA men also torched a CPM local office at Hatipota village.
He said that the police also recovered a body, believed to be that of a Maoist activist, from Patasjangal area under Goaltore police station. He was suspected to have been killed in an armed clash with the CPM in the area recently.
The top brass of the state administration, including Chief Secretary Asok Mohan Chakraborty, Home Secretary Ardhendu Sen and police chief Bhupinder Singh are in the district headquarters to review Maoist activities.
