The Union home minister, Mr P. Chidambaram, has alerted the AP government on the bail granted to the CPI-Maoist central committee member, Thusharkanth Bhattacharya, who is lodged in the Cherlapally jail.
Mr Chidambaram on Monday called on the Chief Minister, Mr K. Rosaiah, to ensure that the state police keep a close watch on Bhattacharya as he is wanted in other cases in Maharasthra, UP and W. Bengal.
The Chief Minister immediately talked to the director-general of police, Mr Girish Kumar, and instructed him to comply with the advice of the Union home minister.
The state government would want to avoid repeating the embarrassing experience of the Maoist central committee member, Malla Raji Reddy, jumping bail in October 2009 and rejoining the Naxalite movement. Reddy is now believed to be taking an active part in West Bengal Naxal affairs. Thusharkanth Bhattacharya, alias Srikanth, is an accused in the Tappalapur village raid case of 1976 in which four persons were killed. He has been in the jail for two years and has now got a bail.
Earlier, Bhattacharya was acquitted in three other cases in Warangal. He also has cases against him in Bihar where he was arrested two years ago from the Dujra area in Patna.

Satyam case auditor gets bail from SC
Satyam consultant and its subsidiary company Pricewaterhouse-Cooper’s auditor Talluri Srinivas was finally granted bail by the Supreme Court on Thursday in the Satyam fraud case after remaining in judicial custody for more than a year. The top court imposed stringent conditions on him.
Directing Srinivas to execute a bail bond of Rs 20 lakh and two sureties of the same amount before the trial court, a bench headed by Chief Justice K.G. Balakrishnan restricted his movements even within the country directing that he will have to seek the permission of the police to leave Hyderabad.
The other conditions include that he would surrender his passport, not try to leave the country and “influence” the witnesses and “tamper” with the evidence.
Srinivas was granted bail after his counsel, Mr Mukul Rohatgi, said since the chargesheet has already been filed in the case and all evidence against Srinivas were documentary, which had already been seized by the CBI, there was no need to confine him in judicial custody.
