Ranchi: Youths wanting to become Maoist guerrillas in Jharkhand will now need presentation skills. Maoist groups are seeking resumes to shortlist candidates who will then face an interview - to explain why they want to take up arms.
If they pass the interview, the selected candidates will be placed in different categories and draw salaries varying from Rs1,000 to Rs3,000 (Dh85 to Dh255) a month.
The recruitment drive has been launched by five Maoist outfits active in Jharkhand, police sources said.
Application forms
The police have recovered over 100 neatly filled application forms from Maoist hideouts. Fifty of them were seized in Tamar block of Ranchi and in Jamshedpur and Khuti districts.
The application forms seek information sought for any job. These include the candidate's name, father's name, history of educational qualification and why she or he wants to enlist.
The successful candidates will be initially asked to spy on the police and undergo arms training. They will be taken in only after their credentials are verified thoroughly.
Deputy police inspector Naresh Prasad said most candidates mentioned in the seized application forms that they had tried to join the Jharkhand Police but were rejected.
"The candidates have tried to impress the Maoists by spewing venom against the police and the government," said another police official.
The five Maoist groups active in Jharkhand are the Communist Party of India-Maoist, Jharkhand Prastuti Committee, Tritiya Prastuti Committee, Jharkhand Liberation Front and Sangarsh Jan Mukti Morcha.
