deCODE RED: Inside Story of Maoist Operations

By Amarnath Jha

deCODE RED unveils the story of JEHANABAD JAILBREAK 2005 when the Maoists took over Jehanabad Jail and the entire city for the whole night, got over 250 prisoners released, and conducted JAN ADALAT (kangaroo court) on their enemies, sentencing them to death. The incident inspires a New Delhi-based senior journalist-Harsh to make a documentary series on them. Having zero links with the Maoists he makes extraordinary efforts to get into the den of Ultras risking his life.

It also reveals the real-life saga of the senior-most Maoist leader Tridib alias Nischal alias numerous fake names and his journey, beginning from a passionate student of Physics in Presidency college Kolkata (erstwhile Calcutta) in 1967 to a veteran prisoner of Presidency jail in 1977 to Jehanabad Jailbreak, the mastermind in 2005

And the icing on the cake in this novel is the thrilling cat and mouse games between the Maoist Nishchal and the Indian Police Service officer J.C.S. Santhanam, a self-proclaimed fanatic Maoist hunter presently working as the director of the Naxal Management Desk for the Union Ministry of Home Affairs.
