Senior Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leader Arnab Dam alias Bikram was arrested at the Biramdih railway station in Purulia District late in the night of July 16, reports The Hindu. An AK-47 rifle, some rounds of ammunition and some Maoist literature were recovered from him. He was produced in a District court and remanded in Police custody for seven days. Senior Police officers said the arrest of Bikram, a State Committee member and secretary of the Bihar Jharkhand Odisha Border Regional Committee of the CPI-Maoist, was the biggest achievement of the joint security forces after the elimination of Polit Bureau member Koteswara Rao alias Kishanji in a November 2011 encounter in West Midnapore District. Inspector-General of Police (Western Range) Gangeshwar Singh told The Hindu on the phone that he was an important organiser, with his activities spreading beyond West Bengal. “His arrest is a major setback to the CPI (Maoist) as he was one of the most important leaders in charge of operations here, after Kishenji’s death. With his arrest and the surrender of 30 members of the outfit over the past one year, we have been able to put a check on the activities of the Maoists operating in the… Jungle Mahal region.” Bikram, who started the Ajodhya squad and led it since 2009, is wanted in 79 cases, including the murder of seven villagers of Baghbinda in the District and the abduction and murder of Inspector Partha Biswas and school teacher Soumyajit Basu in 2010.
