AP cops raid dead Journalists flat - seize computer,laptop and books

The Andhra Pradesh Police on Saturday recovered two night-vision enabled binoculars, three Maoist central committee secret letters and other propaganda literature during a raid at the rented North Delhi house of journalist Hemchandra Pandey, an alleged Maoist shot dead in an encounter four months ago.

Pandey, a Hindi journalist, was killed along with Maoist central committee member and spokesperson Cherukuri Rajkumar, alias Azad, in an encounter within the Adilabad forests near Hyderabad, on July 1.

A five-member team of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the Andhra Pradesh police raided Pandey's rented house in A-96 Shastri Nagar where he and wife Babita had been staying since February 7.

A senior AP Police officer said the team broke into the house with help from the local police and other witnesses after obtaining a search warrant from a court in Tis Hazari on Friday.

Babita had tried to mislead the Adilabad police by giving them an address the couple had vacated a year ago, the AP Police said. The address she gave was that of a house in Dev Nagar.

However, when she was questioned at the office of Swami Agnivesh in New Delhi about a month ago, Babita accepted that she had been staying at Shastri Nagar and that she had left the place on July 2, after her husband's death.

Babita had told the landlady that she was leaving the house as her mother-in-law had taken ill and did not return. The landlady Rajbala corroborated Babita's version, the police said . In addition to the binoculars and central committee documents, the police have seized about 1,000 books, a computer, a laptop, a scanner, a fax machine and four letters addressed to top leaders of the Maoists.

Although the investigators are yet to access the information contained in the laptops and computers, sources said the three documents of the central committee meeting recovered from the house were crucial.

They throw light on the war strategy, weapons training and indoctrination campaigns being adopted by the rebels, the police said.

Out of the letters seized, two have been written by top Maoist leader codenamed Ajith to central committee member Comrade Sitapathi. Portions of this letter dated December 22, 2009, are in code, an AP police officer said.

Similarly, copies of a press release Azad had issued two days after the Gyaneshwari train blast on May 28, were also recovered from Pandey's house.

Interestingly, many of the nearly 1,000 books in Hindi and English recovered from Pandey's house are not available in the market. These books espouse an ultra left ideology, cover its history and discuss ways to usurp power by the means of an armed struggle.

Sources said multiple copies of different titles were seized from Pandey's residence. These include: 246 copies of Communist Party of India, Maoists Central Committee Ideology and Preface , 16 copies of Hold High The Bright Red Banner of Maoism , 509 copies of Saheri Kam Ke Bari and 63 copies of Political Resolution 2007 Maoists .

Before conducting raids in New Delhi, the SIT team from Andhra Pradesh had been to Uttaranchal in a bid to unravel the network of Pandey and Azad.

OPEN LETTER TO SWAMI AGNIVESHJI

Source - http://www.swamiagnivesh.com/Open%20letter%20-.htm

OPEN LETTER TO SWAMI AGNIVESHJI

Dear Swami Agniveshji,

I recieved your latest letter dated 22nd July. I understand your feelings about the martyrdom of com Azad and sincere concern for the peace process. Though I could not get the attachements which you mentioned in the letter, I followed almost all of your interviews given to print media.

Since it is difficult for me to send any reply to your letter nor is it possible to send your letter to our comrades who had to decide and act on your letter. Hence this open letter. There was no other choice for me.

The deception is continuing. The deception by Mr. Chidambaram. Who ardently beleives in "quite diplomacy". He is doing the things quitely and coolly.

He offically agreed to make you the interlocuter in the "peace talks". You opened channels to send the proposals to us. He "quitely" and with a neatly chalked out plan entered our channels; knowing well that the communcication would have to reach com. Azad. Under the clear guidance from Chidambaram, the notorius APSIB implemented the plan. I feel that you too must have understood all this by now, but may be difficult for you to say so. I can understand that.

Chidambaram, had his hands were not wet with blood of our beloved com. Azad, his life partner com. Sitakka alias Padma, who was most probably shown as an encounter death in Gadcheroli on 6th July, and journalist Hem Chandra Pandey, he could have seen staight into his eyes and accepted for an enquiry in to this ablsolutely fake encounter. He knows that he was the brain behind this operation and that was why he could not have accepted this demand. Who knows like Amitshah who is exposed as the the main culprit in Sohara buddin case, Chidambaram too could be implicated one day, if there were to be an enquiry. Any way, he denigrated your status as an interlocutor by rejecting the most genuine demand.

Your letter dated 26th of June reached com azad, just before 30th. The APSIB which already entered the mechanism knew this. They know that they could scuttle the process by eliminating com. Azad. With that purpose only they entered through the channels you had opened to send your letters to us. We fell to the prey of this great deception by Chidambaram.

We feel that you are being used as a pawn in the whole process. Sorry for the straight talk!

Please ask Mr Chidambaram one question. What is that the APSIB has been doing in many states outside Andhra pradesh? In UP, west Bengal, In Delhi, so on so forth? Are they functioning without his knowledge? Does he not know that it is the APSIB team that arrested com. Kobad Gandhy and put him under illegal custody for three days and on 20th septemeber he was given to Delhi Police? Shall I inform you the list of the personnel of APSIB who arrested com Kobad Gandhy; and who headed that team? May be it will be a small addition to the wikileaks, and can be a scoop to the media.

The point is again the deception. He is talking of langauge of "peace". He is planning cold blooded murders with his trusted APSIB.

Now that you have given another letter to our CC. Appealing to take the further the peace process that was started.

Your letter dated 22nd july reached me. Not just the letter. Some thing more too. The APSIB too reached me. How can we understand this phenomenon? I just escaped very narrowly. On August 1st. If we can meet some time later, like we met on the dias of Karimnagar Peasant Labour Assocaition meeeting in 1983 where we addressed the gathering along with others, (You paid rich tributes to com Haribhushan who was killed by the then NTR regime), i can give you the details. Had I gone into the hands of this notorius Indian Mossad, your 22nd letter must have gone back to the chidambaram, pehaps with some blood marks on it, like your 26th letter reached Chidambaram in similar way. We do not have any iota of doubts in your genuine feelings regarding the peace process. I am afraid that you are pegion among the cats. The cats are using you to catch us in this process.

The APSIB encircled me and for the time being I am out of it. In these circumstances it is difficult for me to send any reply to you through some channels or send your letter to our comrades. I request you to openly publish your letters in the papers. Any channel if you try to send through, it might end up in some loss. I hope we can no more afford that.

Chidamabaram will continue to play unfair game. He has already claimed our beloved comrades lives along with life of a journalist.

Our comrades will reply to you on your proposals if you can publish your letters through media. The june 26th letter and the present one, since june 26th letter has not reached our comrades. Since they are written by you, it is your prerogative to publish openly or not. May be you have to go against Chidambaram by not doing these things "quitely". He is sticking upto his programme by doing "quitely".

Your lofty concerns and well meaning efforts are torpadoed by Chidambaram with his dirty tricks. He might have scuttled the peace process by killing com. Azad. Can he stop the revoution? The history of Hitler is before us.
I stated hard facts.
