Posters increase speculation over Kishenji’s death

Kolkata, November 12: Posters alluding to ‘martyrdom’ of Maoist leader Kishenji were recovered by security forces here, intensifying speculation over the death of the rebel leader, who has not appeared publicly for past eight months, police said today.

One of the three posters, undersigned by an unknown organisation -‘Tribal Platoon, CPI(Maoists)’ and recovered from a place between Punnapani and Lakshanpur by the joint forces during routine patrolling, said, “We will not allow anybody to use martyr Kishenji for serving his interest.”

Terming Mansaram (Bikas) as a traitor, another poster said that he had forgotten his own community and the people would punish him while the third poster said, “We won’t allow Marshall to be insulted,” the police said.
