Two close supporters of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) were arrested by the Police in Aurangabad District on June 1, reports The Times of India. Police also seized Maoist pamphlets, posters and two cellphones from the arrested persons. Police sources said that a joint team of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and District Armed Police arrested two persons during raids at separate places of Madanpur area on charge of providing cylinders to Maoists for use as cylinder bombs. They have been identified as Lal Babu Paswan and Surendra Bhuiya, both residents of village Azad Bigha under Madanpur Police Station area. Aurangabad Superintendent of Police (SP) Babu Ram said Lal Babu and Surendra had provided 10 high- capacity cylinders to Maoists for triggering off blasts during panchayat (village level local self government institution) elections against Security Force (SF) personnel engaged in anti-Maoist operations in the District. "The duo was also passing information of police movement to top Maoists leaders Prasadji and Nawalji," said the SP. "The two had also hatched a conspiracy to kill a mukhiya of Aajan panchayat," he added.

Three women Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres including a ‘divisional committee leader’ who carried a reward of INR 800,000 on her head surrendered before the Visakha Rural Police in Visakhapatnam District on June 1, reports The Times of India. Divisional committee leader Kudabala Lakshmi alias Sarita (29) of Chamagedda village in GK Veedhi mandal (administrative unit), ‘area committee member’ Bonangi Ramulamma alias Bharati alias Saroja of Labadampalli village in GK Veedhi mandal and Tambelu Tummu alias Vijaya (24) of Tartal village in G Madugula mandal had apparently decided to surrender due to severe oppression by the Security Forces (SFs), ill health and differences with senior leader and east division secretary Chalapathi.Visakha Rural Superintendent of Police (SP) Rahul Dev Sharma said Sarita joined the Maoists rank and file in 2000 as a Jana Natya Mandali (JNM) cadre. She was inducted into the Naxal [Left-Wing extremism, LWE] military formation in 2003 and worked as bodyguard to ‘central committee member’ Vadkapur Chandramouli. "She was a military trainer and the only woman selected for central military training from all the Naxal-affected states in 2008. She was sent to the Andhra-Odisha Border (AOB) as a central military instructor. She has trained almost all the squads in the AOB and was promoted as ‘deputy commander’ for the first central regional committee (CRC) company, the military wing of the naxals," the SP said. There are 30 cases registered against Sarita in Visakhapatnam District alone and an unknown number of cases in Odisha and Chhattisgarh. Sarita was also involved in eight exchanges of fire with SF personnel. "The cadre was demoralised with the attitude of senior leader Chalapathi, who did not have cordial relations with the party members. After senior leader Kudumula Venkata Rao alias Ravi and Azad died, there was a gap in leadership," Sarita said and claimed that many more cadres would surrender in the future due to differences with Chalapathi. Bonangi Ramulamma had worked in Korukonda and Pedabayalu and also in Chhattisgarh. There are around 23 Police cases registered against her in Visakhapatnam including at Darakonda outpost and Anakapalli Police Station. Ramulamma was also involved in eight exchanges of fire incidents and ambushes and carried a reward of INR 400,000 on her head, Sharma said. Vijaya, the third woman Maoist who surrendered, had fled the movement along with her husband few months ago and settled in a village on the Odisha border and she returned to her native village Tartal recently after the death of her husband, the SP said. After she learned of the surrender of a few woman Maoists including Lalita, she decided to follow suit, he said. Vijaya was involved in the abduction of Malkangiri collector Vineel Krishna in 2011 and carried a reward of INR 100,000 on her head.

Claiming responsibility for the killing of Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) leader Sudesh Paswan in Dumaria Block Headquarters in Gaya District last month, Maoists have justified their dastardly act by holding him responsible for the 'killing of the banned outfit's revolutionaries' and have gone on to describe him as 'ring leader of Police informers', reports Zee News on June 3. A hand-written pamphlet, which appeared in Imamganj area of Gaya, warned those colluding with the Police and being their informers. It also lashed out at LJP leader Chirag Paswan and former Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi for shedding 'crocodile tears' over the incident. The LJP had earlier condemned the killing of Sudesh and demanded President's Rule in the state in view of rising crime. Chirag had also slammed the ruling 'grand alliance' for prevailing lawlessness in the state, and said those raising their voices are being murdered. Sudesh was campaigning for panchayat (village level local self government institution) elections near Dumaria when he was shot dead.

Two minors, who were forcibly employed in the children's squad of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), were rescued by a joint team of the District Police and CRPF from Gumla forests near Jamti village in Gumla District on June 2, reports The Telegraph. The Security Force (SF) personnel, who have been combing Bishunpur block since May 29, found a boy and a girl cowering in the forests near Jamti village. Asked, the boy, who was aged 15, and the girl, 11, said they were from Gumla but had been forcibly picked up for Nakul Yadav's bal dasta (child soldiers) some five months ago. Yadav happens to be a Bihar-Jharkhand regional coordination committee member of CPI-Maoist and one of the most dreaded Maoists of this region. "Yes, it's a positive development that two children have been rescued in the ongoing combing operation. Tomorrow, they will be produced before district child welfare committee.

In 2015, 226 people died in 1,088 incidents of violence perpetrated by the LWEs. Of the 226 deaths, 168 were civilians and 58 security personnel. As many as 89 Maoists were also killed and 1,668 were arrested and 570 cadres surrendered before authorities last year. "The decline in violence can be attributed to many reasons such as greater presence of security forces across the Left Wing Extremism-affected states, loss of cadres and leaders on account of killing, arrests, surrender and desertions, better monitoring of development schemes in affected areas and insurgency fatigue among the Maoist cadres," the official said. While 106 districts in 10 states are affected by Maoist activities in varying degrees, 35 districts in seven states are considered to be worst hit. According to a recent Parliamentary Standing Committee report, Naxal activities continue to be a matter of concern with 35 districts in seven states being badly-hit. "CPI (Maoist) continues to be the most potent among the various LWE outfits in the country and accounts for more than 80 per cent of total LWE violence incidents and resultant deaths," the report said.

A Delhi court on June 10 acquitted Maoist ideologue, Kobad Ghandy (68), of terror charges but held him guilty of cheating and forgery, reports The Hindu. However, the Additional Sessions Judge Reetesh Singh sentenced the Maoist leader for the period of imprisonment he had already undergone during the trial. “Kobad Ghandy is in custody since September 20, 2009, which is almost six years and six months. I therefore impose upon him a term of imprisonment already undergone by him and fine of Rs.10,000. In default of payment of the fine, he shall undergo a further simple imprisonment for two months,” the judge said.However, Ghandy may not come out of jail as he is also facing prosecution in other cases in other parts of the country. The judge acquitted Ghandy of the charge of being a member of a banned outfit and furthering its activities under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act [UAPA]. But he held him guilty of cheating, forgery and impersonation.According to the Delhi Police, Ghandy was involved in setting up a new network of the banned Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) in Delhi. He was living in the city to propagate the activities of the CPI-Maoist and he was helped in it by co-accused Rajinder Kumar, the Police alleged.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist’s (CPI-Maoist) ‘central committee’ has given a call for celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Naxalbari armed uprising, centenary of the Russian revolution and the bicentenary of the birth of Karl Marx, reports The Hindu on June 18. In a 10- page statement, the ‘general secretary’ of the CPI-Maoist, Muppala Lakshman Rao alias Ganapathi, said that all the party units should make “preparations, put maximum efforts and issue calls to the vast masses to actively and energetically participate in these celebrations”. He called upon his party cadre to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Naxalbari uprising from May 23 to 29, 2017, the centenary of the Bolshevik Revolution from November 7 to 13, 2017 and Karl Marx birth bicentenary from May 5 to 11, 2018. If, for any reason, it was not feasible to conduct these events on the above mentioned dates, Ganapathi said, they could be organised in other time of the years of the anniversaries. “It is to be expected that the enemy will try to create all kinds of hurdles everywhere to prevent us from organising these anniversaries, be it in the urban or rural areas. We should be prepared for this and make realistic and practicable plans to conduct these programmes successfully in spite of disruptionist efforts”, the statement said. The Maoist party also said that efforts should be made to organise at least one international programme in any of the Indian cities on a date agreeable to all participants. As part of these celebrations, the party has also sought publication of books, booklets and collection of articles for enhancing the understanding of Marxism.

The head of Maharashtra’s Anti-Naxal Operations (ANO) unit Shivaji Bodkhe while addressing the trainee Policemen at the ANO unit at Surabardi in Nagpur on June 20 said that the Communist Party of India-Maoist’s (CPI-Maoist) network was spreading rapidly in urban areas of the State and the Maoist movement was no more limited to Gadchiroli and Gondia Districts, reports The Hindu. “There is a perception that the Maoism is limited to only Gadchiroli and Gondia district of Maharashtra. Many in the police department also carry this perception. But this movement is not limited to tough and dense terrains of forest areas. It is spreading rapidly in urban areas through its frontal organizations. The police need to be alert and focus on these urban frontal originations,” said Bodkhe, who is a Special Inspector General (IG) of Police of the ANO.He also claimed that the Maoists were carrying out “secret propaganda” in Mumbai, Thane, Pune, Nadurbar, Dhule, Jalgaon and Nashik areas of the State. “We only know about the Maoist violence against the police in forest areas and their opposition to the developmental works. But their frontal originations have an altogether different modus operandi. Groups like Kabir Kala Manch are trying to attract workers and students and are trying to put them against the established system by teaching them about Marx, Lenin and Mao,” claimed IG Bodhkhe.

Officials of National Investigation Agency (NIA), who are probing arms smuggling in north-eastern states, have come across evidence that suggests the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres operating in Jharkhand have been supplied with sophisticated M-16 rifles, reports DNA on June 22. Official sources said that the sophisticated weapons are sourced from Nagaland and get transported to Maoists in Jharkhand by arm syndicates. The NIA is now in talks with Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) and Special Task Force (STF) of Nagaland, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Jharkhand to chalk out a strategy from stopping the highly-sophisticated weaponry from reaching the Maoists in Jharkhand. According to official sources, NIA sleuths have managed to identify individuals allegedly involved in the smuggling of M-16 rifle.Official sources also said that Munger in Bihar is somewhat becoming an important transit point owing to its existing illegal arms markets. Munger is also home to several freelancers known for servicing and repair of sophisticated weapons such as M-16. Agency is also looking at the possibility of the M-16 in non-working condition being sent to Munger for servicing followed by its distribution in pockets where Maoists continue to operate.

In a bid to win over the people in the Vishakhapatnam agency areas of north Andhra Pradesh, the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres are now visiting the bordering areas of Vizianagaram and some parts of Srikakulam District in plainclothes and holding meetings on the State Government's apathy towards the villagers' problems related to land and local issues, reports The Times of India on June 28. Following severe loss of cadre and ammunition dumps, the Maoists are making their moves carefully. The Andhra-Odisha Border Special Zonal Committee (AOBSZC) leaders' recently held meeting with the East Division Maoists would also bring about a change in the attitude of the Maoists in Visakha Agency and East Godavari, sources said. "Locals are surprised to see naxals visiting their villages without wearing their usual olive green uniforms. A team of 4-5 naxals visit the villages first to ensure that combing parties are not in the vicinity and then the leaders arrive at the village to conduct meetings. This has been going along the bordering areas for the past few weeks," said a senior Police officer on conditions of anonymity. Even their style of interacting with the people has changed and they are now mingling with the people in a friendly manner, he added.Meanwhile, Srikakulam-Koraput division committee ‘deputy commander’ VR Chaitanya alias Aruna was spotted holding meetings with locals at the bordering villages of Kotia and Narayanpatna in Koraput District. According to the sources, the Maoists are now totally focused on organisational activity -- mainly educating the people on various issues to help raise their voice against government authorities and elected representatives. Srikakulam-Koraput division ‘commander’ Chamala Krishna Murthy alias Daya has also been busy near the bordering areas of Araku, the sources added.

The Centre on June 27 asked four Naxal-Left-Wing Extremism (LWE)-hit States-Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha and West Bengal-to frequently hold Unified Command meetings for formulating a strategy to tackle the issue effectively, reports The Times of India. The Union Minister of Home Affairs (UMH) Rajnath Singh conveyed this at the Eastern Zonal Council meeting held in Ranchi, official sources said. Singh also cited the example of Jharkhand where splinter groups of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) have been active and tackling them required coordination among forces and better strategy. The Zonal Council meeting took stock of various development schemes carried out in LWE-affected areas and found that Bihar lagged in construction of fortified Police Stations. Out of the 45 sanctioned fortified Police Stations in Bihar, 40 are yet to be constructed. In Jharkhand, out of 73 sanctioned fortified Police Stations, only two are yet to be completed, in Odisha, out of 52 sanctioned fortified Police Stations, 18 are yet to be constructed and in West Bengal, out of the 17 fortified Police Stations, one is yet to be completed. In 2011, the Centre had announced that it would fund construction of 400 fortified Police Stations in 83 worst Maoist-hit Districts in the country at a cost of INR 20 million each.
