Mumbai-based Maoist leader, Arun Ferreira, who was picked up by the city police along with three others a few years ago in a naxal-related case, was today released from the Central Prison here following bail.

Ferreira along with Mahesh alias Murli Satyareddy, Davendra Bhurle and Naresh Bansod were arrested by Crime Branch of city police from near Deekshabhoomi here on May 7, 2007 for their active involvement in strengthening Maoist network.

The suspected Maoist was since then in custody and was re-arrested by police in September last year after he released from jail as he was required in some other Maoist violence cases in Gadchiroli district, police sources said.

The quartet were carrying a rifle and other Maoist material when the city police in a swift operation arrested them, after they assembled here, sources added.
