Kobad Ghandy's release 3 years too late: Lawyer

March 28, 2012 16:14

Kobad Ghandy's lawyer Rebecca John says his release has come three years too late. The Maoist leader earlier had opposed filing of a supplementary chargesheet against him saying the police has filed the charge sheet despite there being no fresh material against him.

The Special Cell of Delhi Police, in its main chargesheet, had slapped charges under the UAP Act, besides booking him for various offences under the IPC relating to cheating, forgery and impersonation.

An alumni of the prestigious Doon School, Ghandy was said to be part of the top leadership of erstwhile CPI-ML (People's War Group) from 1981 and continued as a Central Committee member in CPI (Maoist). He was elected to its Politburo in 2007.
