National President survives Maoist attack

Nirupam Sen narrowly escaped an ambush by Maoists at Salboni in West Midnapore district on Sunday. An IED blast snapped a high tension electric wire and riddled a police car with shrapnel and pellets, injuring six policemen. ( Watch )

Sunday’s incident came only a week after Maoists killed three persons, including a doctor, at Belpahari in the same district. “As the whole area is Maoist-dominated, we are eliminating all other possibilities and zeroing in on them,” IG (law and order) Raj Kanojia told TOI. West Midnapore SP Rajesh Singh said, “Modus operandi suggests that it is the handiwork of Maoists.”

The cars of the CM, Sen and the Union ministers had passed the spot a couple of minutes earlier. They were all within earshot of the blast. The ambush has left police shell-shocked since this entire zone had been cordoned off.

All the six injured policemen were tailing the car of Union minister of state for steel Jitin Prasad. Some of them suffered head and chest injuries. The high tension wire swished around after being snapped by the force of the explosion and could have been devastating, but it luckily didn’t hit any other vehicle apart from the police jeep. Even these occupants escaped electrocution.

Bhattacharjee, Paswan, Prasad, Sen, MP Naveen Jindal and industrialist Sajjan Jindal had gone to Salboni for the foundation laying ceremony of the proposed Rs 35,000-crore integral steel plant in the Maoist-affected area. They were returning to Kolkata when the blast took place at Kalaichandikhal, about 12 km from the plant site, between 2.10 pm and 2.15 pm. It was hardly 10-15 minutes since the leaders had started from Salboni.

The first car in the convoy was that of Congress leader Manas Bhunia. Next in line were cars of Bhattacharjee, Sen and Paswan. The police vehicle (WB 62 5647) that was hit was right behind Jitin Prasad’s car. It had escort officer Ranjit Mandal, two constables, two security guards and a driver.

“I heard a loud explosion. A split second later, something fell on top of the vehicle. The windscreen and windows shattered. I suddenly felt pain. Everyone in the car was bleeding and moaning. We had no clue what had hit us,” said Rabindranath Mahato, a guard who was injured.

Prasad’s car had passed the spot seconds earlier and it came to a screeching halt. On seeing what had happened, Prasad’s bodyguards asked the driver to speed off to Kalaikunda airbase where an aircraft was waiting for them.

Several other vehicles carrying CPM supporters stopped 200 metres behind the shrapnel-riddled jeep as injured policemen staggered out. Drivers got scared on seeing branches lying on the road. Maoists are known to plant landmines on the roadside and cover them up this way. Some CPM cadre went to help the policemen and that is when they saw the high-tension wire lying across the road. No one dared to take another step.

Two policemen had reportedly been posted at the spot — close to Bhadutala jungle, a Maoist den — but were nowhere to be seen when the blast happened. The first police team arrived 20 minutes later. The substation at Kerani Chati was asked to switch off power and only then could ambulances and rescue teams arrive.

Lok Janshakti Party

The Lok Jan Shakti Party is a political party in India. It is led by Ram Vilas Paswan. The party was formed in 2000 when Paswan split from Janata Dal (United). The party has considerable following amongst Dalits in Bihar. The 2004 Lok Sabha elections marked a major break-through for the party. It contested the polls in alliance with the Indian National Congress and the RJD and won 4 Lok Sabha seats. In the post-poll formed United Progressive Alliance led government, Ramvilas Paswan became the minister of Steel and Fertilizers. In the 2005 Bihar assembly polls the party contested in alliance with the Congress and against the RJD and won 29 assembly seats.

After no group was able to form a coalition government, President's rule was imposed. After a few months Bihar's state assembly was dissolved. The elections returned NDA supported Nitish Kumar as Chief Minister. This has been a major setback for Paswan.
