The younger son stays with mother (Sandeep's wife) Rajbanti Devi in Samlong, Namkum. An untrained teacher, Rajbanti allegedly never goes to her workplace Latua government primary school but draws a salary, and has property worth Rs 80 lakh.
Sandeep's sons lead lavish lives. Their fees are routed through the bank account of Dhanik Lal Mandal, alias Bhutali, Sandeep's younger brother who is wanted in eight Naxalite cases, said the IG-rank officer.
Sandeep's eldest daughter Soni Kumari, who attended Banasthali Vidyapeeth (Rajasthan), is married to Delhi government school teacher Gajendra Narayan. Gajendra, who also reportedly lives beyond his means, recently booked a Rs 35-lakh flat at Revanta MultiState in Delhi. "Gajendra seems to invest and launder levy money," the senior Bihar policeman said.
Sandeep's youngest daughter studies in Class IX at an expensive public school in Bodh Gaya, Bihar.
The other Maoist Praduman is unmarried but it seems his elder brother Pramod Singh, also a Maoist, sister-in-law Shanti Devi, nephews Varun and Tarun, niece Puja and other relatives in Jehanabad live off his wealth.
Recently, Praduman paid Rs 22 lakh for Puja's admission to Chettinad Medical College at Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu, the sum transferred by one Virendra Kumar and a fake company through RTGS. Tarun and Varun stay in Calcutta to prepare for their medical entrance examinations. "Tarun, Varun and Puja have been educated at expensive schools in Rajasthan. They always travel by air," the policeman said.
State additional director general of police (operations) R.K. Mallick said Jharkhand police were gathering intelligence on the basis of the Bihar dossier.
"Maoists lead a double life. They keep away their own children from their so-called armed revolution and force the poor to lift guns. We have to break their economic backbone," Mallick added.
