Jharkhand Chief Minister Babulal Marandi has directed the police to use the Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA) only on finding concrete evidence. Speaking to media persons in Ranchi, he conceded there had been instances when the POTA had been misused. He said, "I have also come to know about the misuse of POTA. Police should differentiate between (innocents and) real culprits before booking any person under POTA." Jharkhand has been using the POTA to crack down on left-wing extremists—Naxalites—active in the State. Recently, a fact-finding team comprising lawyers, scholars and social activists visited the State and submitted a report to police chief RR Prasad saying POTA was being grossly misused. According to the team's report, 3,200 people have been accused and 202 arrested in a total 644 cases filed under POTA in Jharkhand. In contrast, it pointed out that only 100 people had been arrested and 400 accused under POTA in Jammu and Kashmir.
