MALDA, 25 APRIL: The Malda Merchants’ Chamber of Commerce has sought security from the district police administration after KLO militants’ attempt to kidnap the son of a trader within Gazole police station area.
The MMCC leader yesterday met Malda SP and submitted a list of more than 28 traders seeking security for them.
Four KLO activists tried to kidnap Mr Navin Agarwal, the son of an automobile trader, riding his car from a village at Raniganj in Malda on 22 April evening. But the trader’s driver saved the situation by causing an accident.
“We do not have infrastructure to provide security to each businessman. But we have made security arrangement for the traders as a preventive measure and have given guidelines to them for their security arrangements. Anti-crime patrolling has been intensified not only in Malda but also in other business hubs across the district”, said the Malda SP Mr Bhuban Mandal.
“Policemen in plain cloths will keep a watch on business establishments for the security of traders”, Mr Mandal said.
One of the KLO activists, Mr Gopal Barman, alias Maran Singh, who was arrested after the road accident, is police custody for 14 days.
Top police officials are interrogating Maran Singh, resident of Khanpur village, to get more information about his association and their network in this region.
Though police have started raiding certain suspected areas where Kamtapuri organisations has a strong hold but no one has been arrested yet.
“It would be difficult to arrest three KLO activists, who fled the spot after accident, if they left for Assam on that night. Police have asked locals to inform them if they notice any unknown person, who has taking shelter in the village”, Malda SP said.
Police managed more information about three KLO activists who fled the spot. SNS
