'Maoists giving moral support to J&K terrorists'

The CPI(Maoist) has been giving "moral" support to Kashmiri terrorists. According to a Bihar police documents, this came to light during interrogation of Kameshwar Baitha alias Udeshwar alias Shankar alias Jaggu, a self-styled "zonal commander" of the CPI(Maoist), who carried a reward of Rs two lakh on his head and was instrumental in the killing of about 80 policemen. Baitha was arrested by Patna police in May, 2005. DGP Ashish Ranjan Sinha had then described it as a "prize catch" of Bihar police. "Kameshwar Baitha also ascertained that the CPI(Maoist) is giving moral support to Kashmiri terrorists," the police document said. It (document) also indicates that top Maoist leader Narayan Sanyal in Andhra Pradesh also admitted during his interrogation that he had introduced Kameshwar Baitha to the party. The document states that 30 of the 38 districts in Bihar are Naxal-infested and lists the districts of Patna, Gaya, Aurangabad, Jehanabad, Arwal, Kaimur, Rohtas, Nawada and Jamui as "hyper-sensitive". The "sensitive" districts are Bhojpur, Muzzafarpur, Sitamarhi, Motihari, Darbhanga, Saharsa, Banka, Bagaha and Sheohar, the document says adding that 12 other districts have been put in the category of "less sensitive". The document suggests that the Maoists are spreading their influence in Bihar and are recruiting youths mainly along the Indo-Nepal border. "Tharu boys and girls of Bagha in West Champaran district have been recruited to strengthen its cadre. They are recruiting youths from different parts of the state luring them with women," the document further states. The document also states that the CPI(Maoist) has been running training centres in the forests in West Champaran and Gaya. "Sophisticated weapons are available at the training camp," the document suggests. Other training centres are reported to be located in Kaimur Hills, Bagaha, Munger and Jamui districts. It also hints at the Maoist plan to loot banks having low security to collect money for purchase of weapons.
