Kolkata, April 02: Maoist posters protesting the killing of rebel leader Sashadhar Mahato and demanding withdrawal of joint forces from the forest areas of three West Bengal districts were found in many parts of Kolkata Saturday.
According to the police, the posters were found pasted on the walls of Mahanayak Uttam Kumar (Tollygunge) Metro station. The police removed these later.
The posters claimed that Mahato was killed in a false encounter and accused security forces of attacking tribal people, said a police official.
Sashadhar Mahato, top Maoist and one of the main accused in the May 28 Jnaneswari Express Sabotage, was gunned down March 10 by forces near Jhargram.
