The Special Task Force (STF) of the Tamil Nadu police arrested Deepak, aka Chandu, a senior Maoist leader who escaped from the Agali forests in Kerala’s Palakkad district following an encounter on October 28 and 29, from an area close to the Kerala border on Saturday.
Deepak, who belongs to the Dandakaranya Special Zonal Committee (DKSZC) of the CPI (Maoist), was arrested by the STF team from Moolangangal, which is around 1 km from the Kerala border. Moolangangal is around 25 km from the Manjikkandi settlement near Agali where four Maoists — Manivasakam, Karthi, Aravind and Rema — were gunned down in an encounter by the Thunderbolt force, the Kerala police’s anti-naxal commando wing.
