Chidambaram compliments Delhi Police for nabbing Maoist leader

Complimenting Delhi Police for arresting a top Maoist leader from the capital, Union home minister P Chidambaram today said it showed how well the intelligence agencies and the police were working together.
    
"I compliment the Delhi Police for arresting a very senior naxal leader. Two top naxal leaders were arrested before 2007 and four after 2007. This is an indication of how well the intelligence agencies and Delhi Police are working together," Chidambaram said.

He was speaking to reporters after inaugurating 22 new police stations here.
    
Kobad Gandhi (63), a Polit Bureau member of CPI (Maoist), was caught by the Special Cell of Delhi Police from Bikhaji Cama Place on Sunday night following an input received from intelligence agencies.
    
Gandhi was also in charge of the sub committee on mass organisations, spreading its influence in the urban areas and publication wing. He was also allegedly in touch with foreign extreme Left organisations to get international recognition.
