Orissa Maoists: Great escape, Great relief
“We can now sleep peacefully. We are now free from a life of hardship and terror,” said a 16 - year - old Shanti Soye, a Maoist, after she had surrendered to the police. Sudra Soye, Basanti Taisam, Sumitra Chattar and Raima Pingua also laid down arms after escaping from a Maoist hide - out in dense forests. The girls spent around two years in the camps.
“What we faced during these two years was exploitation and gruelling work. Our seniors always made us carry their luggage when moving from one camp to another in the jungle. Some of them even tried to molest us in an inebriated state. We complained to the committee head but nothing was done to stop the excesses,” revealed Raima Pingua.
The tribal girls, all of them aged between 15 to 17 years, were lured to join the Maoists with false promises. The leaders assured them of financial support and livelihood. They had also promised to solve the long-standing problems of the tribal people. But, as it turned out later, all that was mere eyewash.
Shanti Soye added, “I was taken to a Maoist camp by a girl of my village named Sabita. She lured me into dense forest in Telkoi area and there I was made a captive of sorts. I was given fitness training for about a month followed by arms training. When I asked them to let me return to my village, they refused.”
According to the police, Shanti, who belonged to Raighati village, was working as a deputy section commander under the direct control of Kaling Nagar Divisional Committee (KNDC) secretary Sushil alias Basanta. She was allegedly involved in several crimes including murder, attack on Police Station at Daitari, ransacking of liquor shops at Akul etc. The other girls, the residents of Ghasipura police station area, were working as cadres under the command of Dhiren, an area committee member of KNDC.
Ashish Kumar Singh, SP Keonjhar said, “The Maoist leaders attract the teenagers to join their organisation by giving false assurances. After spending a pitiable life for more than a year these girls have surrendered to lead a peaceful life. They will be settled as per the government’s rehabilitation policy.”
