Close on the heels of the surrender of Maoists woman leader Suchitra Mahato, the laptop of Kishenji and a printer were found from Kushboni jungle in West Midnapore district today by the security forces. Acting on a tipoff, the laptop and printer wrapped in plastic were found by sniffer dogs of the joint forces hidden under a bush in the jungle, police sources said. 

 

The spot was about seven to eight km from Burisole jungle where Kishenji made his last stand and was shot dead in an encounter with the security forces on November 24 last year. Suchitra Mahato who had surrendered and met Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee at the state secretariat, Writers' Buildings, on March 9, had been with Kishenji and escaped with bullet injuries after the encounter in Burisole jungle. 

 

The sources said letters written by top Maoist leaders Akash and Bikash to Kishenji were also found with the laptop and printer. Akash had stepped into Kishenji's shoes after his death.
