West Bengal govt to roll out new industrial policy before Durga Puja: CM Adhikari

Three members of the CPI (Maoist) surrendered their weapons to the West Bengal Police in Bankura district on Wednesday, according to a senior officer. The trio, Jaba Mahato, Nayantara Sahu, and Ramprasad Mandi, had been active in the group since 2006-2007. They were carrying AK-47 and INSAS rifles, which had been looted from the police.

The surrender comes after the Special Task Force (STF) of Kolkata Police arrested Asim Mandal, a top-level Maoist leader, who was the last central committee member of the banned CPI (Maoist). Mandal had been on the run after Misir Besra, a politburo member of the outlawed group, was apprehended in Dhanbad on July 28. The criminal proceedings against the surrendered Maoists will continue, as they had at least 80 cases pending against them in various police stations across West Bengal and Jharkhand.
