Madurai: A Naxal state committee member,
absconding since 2008 after a TADA court issued a non-bailable
warrant against him, has been arrested at Thanjavur and
remanded to judicial custody, police said.
The 'Q' wing, the special branch of Tamil Nadu police that
deals with extremist activities, nabbed him at the town
on Monday.
Police said Manivasakam, a member of a Naxal party's state
committee, had close links with its politburo.
After his arrest in 2002, he had confessed to being just a
messenger of the unit following which he was released, they
said.
However investigations revealed he was an active member of
the party, they said, adding that a number of cases are
pending against him.
