Acting on a tip off, the Special Task Force (STF) of Kolkata Police arrested two senior Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leaders, identified as Sabyasachi Goswami alias Kishore and Zakir Hussain, from Jadavpur area in Kolkata, on April 18 night, reports The Indian Express. Two improvised fire arms, four rounds of ammunition and Maoists documents were seized from their possession. Police said Goswami, who is a state committee member of the CPI-Maoist, was arrested in 2006 and was released on bail. However, his lawyer claimed that Goswami was acquitted of all the charges in 2011. According to the Police, Goswami, who was the city committee secretary of the CPI-Maoist, was replaced by the young Maoist leader Abhishek Mukherjee after his arrest. Mukherjee too was arrested in September last year. A senior Police officer said Goswami was close to Maoist leader Kishenji.
