Three years on 'Naxal' Arun Ferreira released from jail

January 04, 2012 16:23

Arun Ferreira, who was picked up by the city police along with three others a few years ago in a naxal-related case, was today released from the Central Prison in Nagpur following bail.

Ferreira along with Mahesh alias Murli Satyareddy, Davendra Bhurle and Naresh Bansod were arrested by Crime Branch of city police from near Deekshabhoomi here on May 7, 2007 for what is the police believe is their active involvement in strengthening naxalite network.

The suspected naxalite was since then in custody and was re-arrested by police in September last year after he released from jail as he was required in some other naxal violence cases in Gadchiroli district, police sources said.

The quartet were carrying a rifle and other naxal material when the city police in a swift operation arrested them, after they assembled here, sources added.
