The SP of Sambalpur Nikil Kanodia confirmed that the senior Naxalite was caught on Friday night by SOG Commandos and CRPF jawan, near Bisloi Village in jujomura police station area. Bhoi was involved in many criminal cases .

Police also got some explosives from Bhoi. The SP also uttered that Bhoi was arrested in 2005. He was bailed out in 2009 and went to his village. The police were keeping a close eye on his activities but it was found normal. Then all of a sudden some of the naxalites was cropping up in nearby Sambalpur District and according to Police it was found that Bhoi’s involvement in many of the activities was confirmed.

Due to top rebel arrest many significant information will be highlighted about the Maoist activities. The SP further added that they have got some important information from his mobile phone. They are trying to find out many persons activities whose mobile numbers are stored in Bhoi’s cell.

While interrogation Bhoi revealed that their organization wanted to extort money from a company but when they didn’t find any senior official of the company then they took to terrorize and flashed with torch to the vehicles to give a shock to the company workers.

The establishment of this Red Corridor is certainly a far cry from the origins of the movement, which sprouted from the Naxalbari area of West Bengal in 1967. Then, they were a motley crew, discordant and incoherent, susceptible to internal vendettas and feuds. With a marriage of Marxist-Leninist ideology and Maoist tactics, the movement staggered and stuttered through near annihilation to emerge as a highly dangerous force.

Some crore families live below the poverty line in India. That's just one of the shocking figures in a new report that has left the government red in the face. This comes at a time when India faces its biggest internal threat from the growing Maoist movement. And it begs the question - is the government's denial of growing impoverishment and food scarcity actually feeding the Maoist movement. This is a question mark.
