Chhattisgarh, official sources said.
Saibaba’s wife Vasantha said, “When he did not reach home, I
called him and the driver. Both didn’t take my calls. Around 3 pm, I got a call
from someone who claimed to be from Gadchiroli police. He asked me if I was
Saibaba’s wife and then said they had arrested him. When I asked why, the call
was cut.”
Vasantha went to the Maurice Nagar police station where she was
told that a team from Gadchiroli had come at 9 am. Saibaba, who teaches English
at Ram Lal Anand College and is wheelchair-bound, is the deputy secretary of
the Revolutionary Democratic Front.
