Raipur: Confirming allegations of an insider
being involved in the deadly attack on Congress convoy by Communist
Party of India (Maoist) cadres on May 25, National Investigation Agency
(NIA) officials on Sunday told Dainik Bhaskar that four party leaders
were in 'constant touch' with Naxalites on the fateful day.
While two of the leaders are confirmed to have been were present in
the convoy itself, other two at the venue of departure reportedly gave
‘running commentary’ as soon as the convoy left for Keslur town from
Darbha block.
“We are investigation the call records which were made through the
Jagdalpur cellphone tower. Four Congress have been identified who we
believe provided minute-by-minute information to the Naxalites. Two of
them were present in the convoy,” a NIA officer said.
“At present, we think that one of those in the convoy was the mastermind who planned the strike,” he added.
The suspicion over insiders being involved in the attack was first
raised by Mahendra Karma’s son Deepak, who claims that such a ‘precision
strike couldn’t have been possible without ‘insider inputs’.
“They cannot carry out such a big operation successfully without
inputs on Congress leaders' movement. This information was provided by
someone who was privy to the movement plan," Deepak had alleged in a
chat with Times of India. He had even asked as to who had ‘forced’ his
slain father to take the same route from which he went to Darbha,
revealing that Karma ‘did not use to take the same route twice’.
Bharatiya Janata Party leaders, on the other hand, were more direct
in their accusations as they targeted former Chhattisgarh CM Ajit Jogi
for ‘planning’ the entire attack’.
Jogi had left by a chopper after the rally that day.
