Naxal plan to procure Chinese arms foiled
The arrest of two PLA rebels in New Delhi has not only busted the link of Left wing Maoist groups with northeast rebels but also foiled their attempt to procure consignment of sophisticated weapons from China through northeast separatist groups.
Disclosing that security agency was following self-style captain of PLA Wangba, alias N. Dilip Singh, and Lt. Arun Kumar Singh Salam for past several weeks, the authoritative security sources, however, said that their one of the important linkman managed to flee from its hideout in Maharashtra’s Pune.
Informing that security forces are still trying to apprehend the PLA rebel who managed to escape from Pune, security sources said that PLA captain Wangba has confessed to have received about `20 lakhs from Maoists to supply sophisticated weapons available with northeast rebels in their hideout in Burma. Wangba also visited Dantewara in Chhattisgarh besides Jharkhand where he had meeting with Maoist leader Kihshenji.
Asserting that arrest of duo has shattered the link between Maoist and Manipur’s PLA, security sources said that Mr Wangba was key man who was coordinating training of Maoist cadres in Burma camps. Claiming that a group of Maoist rebels have already been imparted training at Burma camp of PLA, security sources said that Wangba was in process of coordinating training for a new batch.
Referring that left-wing Maoist had signed a joint declaration with PLA in 2008 to develop a working relationship between the two organisations, security sources pointed out that since then Wangba who was also the in charge of external affairs of PLA was in touch with Maoist and coordinating various kind of help to each others.
Wangba had recently shifted his hideout from Guwahati to New Delhi.
Apart from arms and ammunition, Wangba was also supplying high-tech communication equipment to Maoists.
