Koraput: Koraput SDJM court on Thursday sent Maoist leader Chenda Bhusanam alias Ghasi on 5-day remand to police custody here. Police would interrogate Ghasi to unearth information about his involvement in Maoist activities as he was directly associated with most of the Red operations.
However, Ghasi’s presence in Koraput jail has raised questions over the security arrangements of the jail. The jail, which is guarded by only 52 jail officials and only one platoon security personnel belonging to Special Operation Group (SOG), has already 612 prisoners including 133 members of Chasi Mulia Adivasi Sangha (CMAS) and 51 ultras in it.
Meanwhile, the presence of Ghasi would force the officials to tighten the security of the jail.
Ghasi would be produced in court on April 11 as the remand period ends on that day.
