A Maoist, who was booked under Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA) in 2004, was today sentenced to ten years rigorous imprisonment by a special court here.
Finding Maoist 'sub-zonal commander' Sunil Ganju guilty in cases of murder, extortion, kidnap and loot on January 27, the special POTA court of S H Kazmi pronounced the judgment and also imposed a fine of Rs 10,000.
Ganju, who is in Chatra jail now, appeared through video conferencing. He was arrested on February 2, 2004 in Hazaribagh's Keredari area when POTA was in force then.
Ganju was booked in about 50 cases, including wounding at least six police personnel and looting their weapons at Demotand in Hazaribagh district in 2003.
