The Jharkhand Police arrested Prashant Bose aka Kishan Da aka Nirbhay aka Kajal aka Buddha aka Maneesh (80), carries a bounty of INR 10 million, is part of the National Investigation Agency (NIA)’s most wanted list, and has been an ideological fountainhead of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) for over five decades, from the Kandra area in Seraikela Kharsawan District of Jharkhand on November 12, reports Hindustan Times. According to reports citing the State Police, his wife, Sheela Marandi, was arrested along with him. Marandi is also a senior member of the Maoist cadre; the only woman in the ‘central committee, CC’, the foremost operational organization of the Maoists; and spent over a decade in jail in multiple cases in Odisha and Jharkhand before she was released from a Rourkela prison in 2016. Kishan Da, for four decades until a change in the Maoist leadership in 2018 -- when Nambala Keshava Rao aka Basavaraju took over from Muppala Lakshman Rao aka Ganapathy as ‘general secretary’ of the banned CPI-Maoist, Bose was largely considered the second most senior Maoist in the country. “When Basavaraju took over from Ganapathy, the idea was to make the leadership a little younger. So both Ganapathy and Prashant Bose took a back seat, but they are clearly the two biggest Maoists India has seen of the past three decades,” a senior intelligence officer said. NIA records describe Bose as five-foot-six, say that he “keeps a light beard to hide a twisted left cheek”, has “false teeth”, is “fond of tobacco”, and wears “bifocal specs”. The investigative agency also shows Bose as a member of the CPI-Maoist ‘politburo’, its highest political body, a member of the ‘central committee, CC’, a non-permanent member of the Central Military Commission (CMC), and secretary of the Eastern Regional Bureau (ERB), which oversees all Maoist activities in seven States including Jharkhand and West Bengal. “[He] reportedly stays in the Saranda forests (Jharkhand). Can be regarded as the No. 2 man in the CPI(Maoist),” the NIA records read.
