RANCHI: In a revelation that has Jharkhand cops looking afresh at the
foreign links of outlawed Maoists, top CPI (Maoist) leader Rajesh
Kumar Sinha alias Udaiji has told interrogators that he has a
girlfriend based in the UK.

A member of the Bihar-Jharkhand-North Chhattisgarh Special Area
Committee of the CPI (Maoist), Udaiji carried a reward of Rs 5 lakh on
his head. Captured by the Ranchi police from an apartment flat in the
posh Lower Burdwan Compound in the city on Wednesday, he has told cops
he is "emotionally attached" with his girlfriend whom he met four
years ago and who works for a social organization.

Denying that he ever went on an overseas travel, the rebel leader told
cops he has dated the woman in her 30s at least thrice in different
parts of the country, including once in Delhi.

"Udaiji holds a masters degree in Economics from Patna University and
speaks fluent English. Befriending the English woman might not have
been a difficult task for him," a police officer associated with the
interrogation said and added the rebel leader claimed to have given an
Indian name, Jhanvi, to his love interest.

Udaiji, who had been in constant touch with Jhanvi through the
internet, also told cops that the Maoist ideology fascinated his woman
and she had expressed willingness to mobilise support for the rebels
in the UK's civil society.
Udaiji's interrogators are now quizzing him on whether or not he
secured funds from the UK for the Maoist movement. "We are also
scanning his email accounts, blogs and chat history as well as bank
accounts to cross-check his confessions," another police officer
said.

Udaiji has two daughters. One of them has done BTech from a Ludhiana
engineering college while the other recently finished her plus two.
His younger brother works in the United States while his elder brother
works with the finance department of Bihar government. Udaiji himself
once aspired to join civil services, but could not crack the exam.

Police officials describe Udaiji as a prized catch who was the
mastermind behind most of the Naxalite attacks in Jharkhand, Bihar and
parts of Chhattisgarh. He gave police the slip several times even
though he extensively moved in the three states, said a cop who was
tracking him for the last two years.

Ranchi SSP Praveen Singh refused to divulge details of the disclosures
made by Udaiji. "He has made several astonishing, serious and new
revelations," the SSP told TOI on Saturday.
