Kolkata: Maoist leader Venkateswar Reddy
alias Telegu Dipak was today remanded in police custody for
another 14 days by a city court.
The ACJM Alipore remanded the close aide of Kishenji
on a plea by the CID counsel following Reddy's completion of a
two-week police remand, on the ground that he needed to be
interrogated further on his role in attacks on police and
Maoist activities in different parts of the country.
Stringent security arrangement was made with commandos
bringing Dipak from Andhra Pradesh and who had been active in
Nandigram to court.
Dipak was arrested from the southern fringes of the
metropolis on March two by CID. He has been charged with
several cases of murder, waging war against the state and
under the Arms Act among others.
Security agencies of Maoist-affected states apart from
central agencies, interrogated Dipak.
