Joint forces arrested four People’s Liberation Front of India (PLFI) cadres from forests under Murhu Police Station in Khunti District on October 1, reports The Telegraph. Police believe that the five would certainly lead them to the main accused involved in the killings of innocent villagers at Raiturang in Arki area in the District on September 26. The arrested cadres have been identified as Etwa Odeya, Porso Purti, Ritai Nag and Hemant Purti. Police recovered two rifles, four bullets, six mobile phones and several PLFI pamphlets from their possessions. Murhu Police Station Officer in Charge (OIC) Bambam Kumar said joint forces had launched an operation in Pangura-Kewra forests post September 30 midnight. PLFI is a splinter group of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist).

A top Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadre was arrested from Pilpilo More, around 60 kilometres from Bokaro steel city on October 3, reports The Telegraph. Police said the rebel, identified as Shivlal Manjhi alias Pawan Murmu, had been keeping tabs on the movement of the forces as a part of the Maoist design to ambush security men in the jungles of Nawadih zone sometime soon. On the basis of information provided by Manjhi during interrogation, Bokaro thermal Police later recovered five gelatin sticks, one kilogram of explosives, five detonators, codex wire, Naxalite [Left Wing Extremism (LWE)] posters and literature, among others, hidden in deep jungles of Pilpilo.

CPI-Maoist ‘zonal commander’ Bharat Lal Singh alias Bhanu, who carried a reward of INR 500,000 on his head, surrendered in front of Director General of Police (DGP) D.K. Pandey at the State Police headquarters in Ranchi on October 3, reports The Telegraph. Sources said recent "trysts with near-death situations", counseling by senior Police officers and positive changes in the life of his friend Bada Vikas, a surrendered rebel, apparently had an impact on Bhanu and prompted him to shun the path of extremism. A native of Chinia area in Garhwa District, Bhanu, also known as Bhanu Singh Kharwar, had several close shaves during encounters with the Police in the recent times. Superintendent of police (SP) of Garhwa, Priyadarshi Alok said lately natives of China area were disillusioned with Bhanu due to various reasons and had decided to either kill him or get him arrested. "During community policing, I had told his parents that their son would be killed either by us or by local natives if did not surrender. About two months ago, Bhanu contacted me over telephone and said that he wanted to surrender," Alok elaborated. Bhanu was a member of Maoists' Bihar-Jharkhand Special Area Committee (BJSAC) and figured as a named accused in 18 cases of Maoist violence registered at different Police Stations of Garhwa alone. Also, several cases are pending against him at different Police Stations of Balrampur District in Chhattisgarh.

Three Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres - Hari Singh Munda, Lakhan Munda and Surjit Munda - surrendered before the Police on October 4, reports The Times of India. A 19-year-old female Maoist Sonia Munda inspired three hardcore active Maoists to quit war against the State and join the mainstream. The motivated Maoists surrendered before Jharkhand, Director General of Police (DGP), D K Pandey. Sonia's husband is a ‘sub-zonal commander’ of the CPI-Maoist. Her attempts to convince him to surrender proved futile. "A resident of Arki block of Khunti district, Sonia expressed her desire to surrender,'' said Superintendent of Police (SP) of Khunti, Anish Gupta, adding, "our assurance of financial and social support after surrender (according to the surrender policy) made them confident about their decision to surrender." Speaking to media persons, Sonia, said, "I knew them personally because all three of them belong to the Arki block. They shared the same disillusionment. Money drives senior leaders more than ideology. The money-minded leaders have made life difficult for us". The surrender of Hari is a big loss to the Red group because he was an expert in fixing broken guns. Sukhram and Shivshankar Munda were involved in an encounter with former Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Ranchi Prabhat Kumar in August 2015, in which one policeman was killed, and the SSP with one of his bodyguards sustained bullet injuries.

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres blew up railway tracks near Dumri Vihar of Gomia block in Bokaro District on two consecutive days of October 10 and October 11, reports The Times of India. The pamphlets found from the blast site contain a message where they condemned the State Government for amendment of the Chhotanagpur Tenancy Act and for favouring capitalists. The incidents were the second and third ones in the last five days. Maoists blew up three points on the same railway track on Gomia-Barkakhana route under Dhanbad railway division of East Central Railway (ECR). Unlike the previous two blasts, on October 11, Maoists blew up the tracks at 1.30 pm near Dumri Vihar. Apart from goods trains, short distance passenger trains like Gomoh-Choupan passenger and Barkakhana-Asansol passenger were affected due to the incident. The traffic on the route was disrupted for nearly 10 hours till a railway team reached the site and reinstalled the broken railway lines. "Maoists are targeting the rail tracks as they are public property. Mostly passenger trains ply on this route. The incident caused inconvenience to local passengers who were traveling on this route during the festive season," said Manoj Krishna Akhouri, Divisional Railway Manager (DRM), Dhanbad railway division.The first incident occurred on October 6, when Maoists set a railway engine on fire and blew up a railway track near Dumri Vihar railway station. On October 7, Director General of Police (DGP), Railway Protection Force (RPF), S K Bhagat along with senior Police officers had visited the site to assess the situation and a search operation was launched by the State Police. Three days later, the Maoists blew up the railway tracks again. Sources said that the blast was triggered by a Maoist squad that came from outside the District. Local Maoist ‘commander’ Santosh Da was also with them. Deputy Inspector General (DIG), Koylanchal, Saket Singh said a massive anti-Maoist search operation is being conducted in the jungles near Dumri Vihar. Necessary directions have been given to Police officers to avoid repetition of such incidents. The restoration work was completed by the railways in the presence of Police. Maoists who have almost lost their ground in jungles of Gomia block are trying to register their presence through such attacks, Police said.

Suspected Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres set fire to the diesel engine of a coal-loaded train near Dumri Vihar station in Bokaro District on October 6, disrupting rail services for hours in the Central Industrial Chord (CIC) section of Dhanbad division, reports The Telegraph. Sources said over a dozen Maoists, who are observing a ‘protest week’ from October 5 to October 11 across the nation against the Centre's anti-people and pro-capitalists policies, initially tried to blow up the tracks near the station around 12.50am. But, only two concrete sleepers placed under the rail tacks were damaged in the blast. According to a rail staff at Dumri Vihar, the armed Naxalites [Left Wing Extremists (LWEs)], in the "uniform of security forces", planted a few electronic devices below the sleepers and triggered a blast. "But, a few minutes later a goods train, coming from the Gomoh side, managed to pass through the stretch without any hassle. The Naxalites, who were standing nearby, then rushed towards another goods train, carrying coal from Barkakana to Tenughat Thermal power plant in Bokaro, which was waiting for signal about 100 metres away. The rebels dragged driver Vijay Kumar out of the cabin and set the engine on fire," he added. The Maoists also snatched away a walkie-talkie and a mobile phone from the driver, but allowed him to flee the spot. Lone guard Kundan Kumar also managed to escape.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has started the process of freezing bank accounts of Parmeshwar Ganjhu, a wanted Tritiya Prastuti Committee (TPC) leader operating in Chatra District, in a concentrated effort to squeeze financial resources of the rebel outfit that has been minting money through extortion and proxy contracts, reports The Telegraph. Highly placed sources in the directorate revealed that the freeze order was issued to the bank concerned in that District on October 7. Parmeshwar, his wife Yashoda Devi and brother Arjun individually hold as many as eight accounts. While the rebel leader has three accounts with the Tandwa branch of Bank of India, Yashoda has two and Arjun, like his brother, three. The ED has directed the bank to provide transaction details of all these eight accounts, the source said. In addition, the directorate has rushed letters to other banks in Chatra, seeking account details of 13 other notorious TPC members, including Gopal Singh Bhokta alias Brajesh Ganjhu, Mukesh Ganjhu, Kohram, Akraman, Bindeshwar alias Bindu Ganjhu, Binod Ganjhu and Bhikhan Ganjhu. "Of these 13, we have received bank account details of some. We need the rest to choke the outfit's all financial arteries," said a senior official of the directorate. It is the first time in Jharkhand that the ED is investigating a money laundering case against a Naxalite [Left Wing Extremism (LWE)] outfit. TPC is a splinter group of the CPI-Maoist.

Narayan Yadav (24), actively associated with the CPI-Maoist, was arrested from Lawadag in Palamau District on October 10, reports The Telegraph. Yadav, who was entrusted with the task of collecting information about the movement of Security Forces (SFs) in Maoist-hit Kalapahar where seven Policemen were killed in a landmine blast in January, was arrested when he was trying to put up posters of a two-day statewide Maoist bandh (general shutdown) beginning on October 10. Police have recovered Maoist literature and posters from him. Chhatarpur Police Station, Officer-in-Charge (OIC) Law Kumar Singh said that Narayan had been closely associated with Maoist commanders Nitesh and Ajay Yadav. "About four days ago, we had spotted him pasting bandh posters at Chhatarpur bus stand. But, he somehow escaped. He was long been on our radar," he said. The officer said that two cases, including one related to violation of Arms Act, were pending against him. "He was actively associated with CPI (Maoist) since the last four years. His elder brother Vishwanath Yadav was an active cadre of CPI (Maoist) who died during an encounter in 2010," said Singh. During interrogation, Narayan said that he had passed on details about the movement of SFs in Kalapahar to the Maoists. "Yadav was in regular touch with Maoist commander Ajay who along with Nitesh and another accomplice Mithilesh was involved in carrying out the attack," said Chhatarpur, Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) Sanjay Kumar. The SDPO added that few days before the blast, Maoists had blown up a BSNL tower in Kalapahar. "In that incident too, Narayan had passed on vital information about police movement to Maoists," he said.
