The identity of the suspected Maoist leader who made an unsuccessful bid for a dramatic escape during transit by raising a false alarm has been ascertained as Ravi Sharma, a scientist working with an agriculture university in Patna with alleged Naxal links, police said today.
Sharma, who was earlier arrested by Andhra Pradesh police from Patna on October 10, had escaped along with his associate during transit on the same day, they said.
In his forties, Sharma was working as a scientist in a reputed Agriculture University in Patna and a member of the Central Committee of the CPI (Maoist), according to police.
Interrogation of Sharma led to the arrest of a woman, who was identified as Aradhana, heading the Maoists' wing of Nari Mukti Sangh, they claimed.
