After defeat comes shame for the Bengal Marxists. In an embarrassing development for the Left Front leadership the police on Sunday recovered arms looted from Shilda camp near the Enayatpur CPI (M) party office of West Midnapore district.
The police recovered an AK 56 and Insas rifle apart from 11 SLRs and 22 pistols and huge quantity of ammunition and bombs from a vacant land behind the party office. The AK rifle was looted by Maoists from Eastern Frontier Rifles camp at Shilda Bengal DGP Naparajit Mukherjee said adding orders have been issued to conduct a probe into the arms recovery.
In a surprise attack on the EFR camp the Maoists had killed 24 jawans and looted a whole lot of ammunition from on February 15 last year.
The locals who found sacks containing the arms on Sunday led the police to the spot behind the CPI(M) office. "We have recovered arms and orders to investigate" the Sunday's incident had been issued the DGP said.
Enayatpur has been one of the CPI(M)'s fortified party offices from where the Marxist cadres had "successfully" repelled a Maoist attack in 2009.
Curiously the police on Sunday recovered olive-green dresses from inside the Singda party office of the CPI(M) in Patashpur in East Midnapore. The police was called in after locals surrounded the party offices for two hours alleging arms had been stored inside the enclosure. Though no arm was found the police recovered some olive-green dresses meant for the security forces which the locals claimed had been used by the harmads during the Nandigram attacks
Sustained recovery of arms particularly from West Midnapore and parts of East Midnapore districts showed how parts of Bengal had been turned into a virtual munitions store. Earlier the police recovered 34muskets from Salboni in West Midnapore district. A sack stuffed with 13 guns was found at Boirokeudi village police said. Similarly from
Kashi Jora village the police recovered 17 guns.
Though the DGP said an updated recovery list would be made public on Monday sources said post elections frequent raids have yielded more than 350 guns and huge quantity of ammunition.
The CPI (M) has debunked the possibility of its hand in the matter. Party state secretary Biman Bose said the newly formed state Government and Trinamool men were "trying to frame our party comrades in order to demoralise the organisation." He said while the Central forces failed to find any arms in the CPI (M) offices a few months ago, "where from these arms are coming now? They are trying to implicate our party men falsely to put them behind the bar."
