NEW DELHI: CPI(Maoist) central committee member and a key leader of the north-east chapter of the outfit, Anukul Chandra Naskar alias Paresh Da, was arrested by the Assam police on Thursday from Guwahati. Naskar wa picked up almost two weeks after the arrest of another central committee member, Mahesh ji, who was heading the north-east operations of CPI(Maoist). With the arrest of Maheshji and his key aide, Naskar, MHA sources are already claiming near decimation of the north-east wing of the CPI(Maoist). This wing has been serving as a crucial link with other north-eastern insurgent outfits for sourcing illegal arms from syndicates across the border. The police are now on the lookout of another CPI(Maoist) leader active in the northeast, Aditya Borah. With Naskar's arrest, the membership of the CPI(Maoist) central committee has shrunk from the original 31 to just 19. Even the politburo is now down from 14 members to 7 on account of arrest or neutralisation of 7 members in the recent years. Anukul Chandra Naskar, aged 65 years, was a native of Balia village in West Bengal's 24 South Paraganas district. He joined MCC in 1967 and became a central committee member in 1985. After the CPI(Maoist)-MCC merger, Naskar was made a member of both the Politburo and central committee in 2004. Later, he stepped down from the politbureau but continued as a central committee member. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Key-leader-of-north-east-chapter-of-CPIMaoist-arrested-by-Assam-police-from-Guwahati/articleshow/19970290.cms
