“Suchitra Mahato, once a dreaded name in Bengal’s red corridor, exercised her democratic right at a polling booth in Bankura district on Wednesday as part of what could be a turning point in the modern history of India. A former rebel, Suchitra played a major role in the 2010 attack on the Eastern Frontier Rifles (EFR) camp at Silda of West Midnapore district, when 24 troopers were killed. She was indicted in over 17 cases including murder, arson and extortion. “
