Kolkata, Jan 12 : In a significant achievement, the West Bengal Police have arrested the most-wanted CPI(Maoist) central committee member Sabyasachi Goswami a.k.a.

Sources from the state police said that Goswami was arrested by a special team of cops from a secret location in Purulia district late Thursday night.

Soon after that NIA announced the award on him. This is not the first time that Goswami has been arrested by any security agency. He was first arrested by NIA from the Golaghat area in Assam in 2021. Prior to that he was also arrested a number of times in 2018, 2013 and 2005 by the special task force of West Bengal Police. However, every time he managed to get released on bail because of weak evidence presented against him and each time after his release he went underground.
