MALDA, Nov 10: The Malda police arrested Rahatullah Haque alias Ramen last night after an interrogation ~ that began on Saturday and ended before he was arrested ~ and produced him in the court today.
Police picked up Ramen, as a suspected Maoist activist, from a place under Malda police station on Saturday and placed him in police custody for interrogation.
Forty-year-old Rahatullah Haque, a resident of Khokra village under Harishchandrapur police station in northern part of Malda, was an active member of Maoists’ peasant wing and police had arrested him a few years back.
Following the blast in the ministers’ convoy near Salboni in Midnapore West and in view of the chief minister's approaching Malda visit, the police picked up the suspected Maoist activist to force out of him any sabotage plan.
But police, in course of the interrogation, had failed to procure any evidence in support of Ramen's involvement in any plan. Police were embarrassed when a section of media highlighted the detention without any evidence.
Police finally decided to arrest him last night on charges of rioting in Harishchandrapur area during the formation of Gram Sansad a few weeks ago.
When asked the Malda SP, Mr Satyajit Bandyopadhayay refused to comment on the matter. n SNS
