Midnapore, Nov. 2 :    Midnapore, Nov. 2:  Bengal police today had a big fish in their net when they arrested B. Rambabu from Hyderabad in connection with the murder of Trinamul Congress youth leader Goutam Chowbey in Kharagpur two months ago. Rambabu was wanted in nine cases of murder, including that of Goutam's brother Manas in 1999. Seven arrests followed Rambababu's, taking the total number of arrests in connection with Goutam and Manas' murder to 21. Rambabu was nabbed from a house in Kanikapally during a raid by a police team from Midnapore, led by additional superintendent of police A. Srinivas. District superintendent of police K.C. Meena described the arrest as a great achievement. 'Rambabu was a terror in Kharagpur and people wondered how he was going about scot-free. With his arrest, they will regain faith in the police,' a district official said. Though Rambabu had been absconding since the murder of Manas, his associates were active in manipulating railway tenders and controlling the sale of scrapped railway property. The police team had gone to Hyderabad on a definite tip-off and traced Rambabu to his brother's house. Police sources said first a raid was conducted on a flat in Yusuf Goda where Rambabu's brother stayed. Police arrested one of his brothers and that led to the raid on the Kanikapally house. After Rambabu's arrest, Sanjay Thakur, the principal accused in the Goutam murder case, was also picked up. Police teams had fanned out to Calcutta, Chennai, Vijayanagar, Hyderabad and Ooty in search of Rambabu and his men. Goutam, son of former CPI leader Narayan Chowbey, was a witness to the murder of his brother Manas, a district Trinamul leader. According to the police, differences relating to bagging railway tenders was the main reason behind the nine murders in which Rambabu was allegedly involved. Local Trinamul leader Debasish Chowdhury said: 'We are really happy. Now we demand proper punishment for Rambabu and the rest.'
