A driver was among three suspects arrested and a huge cache of explosives, including 4000 gelatine sticks weighing about 600 kilograms meant for supply to the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), was recovered by the Police from a vehicle at Grand Trunk Road under the Barachatti Police Station of Gaya District on February 4, Times of India reported. According to Police sources, the explosives bear production marks of Hyderabad (capital of Andhra Pradesh) and were to be delivered to a CPI-Maoist ‘area commander’.

A Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadre was killed and five others were arrested in an encounter at Sakir Bigha in Gaya District on August 25, reported PTI. "Acting on a tip-off, police raided the area where the Maoists had assembled. The encounter took place when they, on being sighted by the police, fired at them," Superintendent of Police (SP) Sushil Khopade said. A Maoist sustained injuries in the encounter and died on way to the hospital, the SP said. One carbine, two country-made rifles and rounds of ammunition were recovered from the five arrested ultras, he added. However, Times of India reports that seven persons, suspected to be Maoists, were arrested following a clash between two groups near Barabar hills in Jehanabad District. One of them succumbed to his injuries on the way to hospital. Police also recovered some arms and ammunition from them. Gaya Deputy Inspector General Anupama Nilekar said near Shakirbigha village close to Barabar hills in Jehanabad District there was an encounter in which a suspected Naxal (left wing extremist) Surendra Manjhi was killed and six others were arrested by the Police. Addition Director General (Head Quarters) Neelmani, however, denied the involvement of Police in the encounter.

The Patna Police arrested Subodh Singh, who is wanted in connection with the recovery of a haul of explosives besides rifles and cartridges from Patna and Gaya in Bihar and Ranchi, Hazaribgah and Bokaro in Jharkhand during successive raids earlier this month. Patna Senior Superintendent of Police Vineet Vinayak said on November 14 that Subodh, son of Rabindra Singh, and his wife were arrested from a house at Ramnagari under Rajeev Nagar Police station in the night of November 13. A pistol, 650 rounds of cartridges, SIM cards, fake driving licences, PAN and identity cards and Naxalite literature were seized from the place. Subodh later led the Police to a house in F sector under Kankerbagh Police Station from where three automatic rifles, 720 live cartridges, CDs and Maoist literature were seized. The rifles were kept in the cabinet of a book shelf, Vinayak said. Quoting neighbours, the SSP said the house had been taken on rent by one Prince alias Rakesh Ranjan for the last four years. Subodh, in collusion with Prince, used to stock the explosives, arms and ammunition there and transport the stuff as and when demanded by the Naxalites, he said. On the basis of confessions made by Subodh, Police also seized six vehicles of a travel agency owned by Prabhat Singh, a resident of road number 11 of Ashok Nagar. From Prabhat's house, Police seized another Ambassador car, which had in its boot a special cavity. 275 cartridges of different makes were recovered from that cavity, Vinayak said. Police have also seized five VIP beacon lights, nameplates of some senior officials of the income-tax department, CDs and Maoist literature from Prabhat's house. Prabhat, who used to supply vehicles to ferry Maoists and explosives to various places, the SSP said, adding that Police were on the lookout for Prince and Prabhat. Telegraph adds that Police also arrested three associates of Subodh for allegedly supplying arms to Maoists. Over 250 cartridges made in China and Pakistan was found concealed under the seat of an Ambassador car seized from Subodh’s transport agency. Some of the seizures in Patna, Gaya and Bokaro in the past week have thrown up Chinese hand-grenades that look like “peeled coconuts”. The Police said these are a “hot favourite” with the Maoists. The Maoists were also said to be “in possession” of hundreds of pistols made in China and even Pakistan, the Police added. Pistols of Pakistani make and magazines were recovered from two suspected Maoists picked up recently from Khagaria District in Bihar. Guns made in Bihar’s Munger, a centre of illegal arms factories for three decades, are also suspected to have reached Maoists.

The huge cache of explosives, seized by Bihar Police from different parts of the State and Jharkhand during the past few days, was mostly pushed into the State from Avadi in Pune and Srikakulam in Andhra Pradesh, Times of India reported on December 21. This was disclosed to interrogators by the four persons who were arrested in Rohtas following seizure of a large quantity of ammonium nitrate. Though Bihar Police are yet to get to the bottom of the case, they are now convinced that the explosives were to be supplied to Maoists. Over one lakh kilograms of ammonium nitrate was recovered from Patna, Gaya, Rohtas, and Bokaro (Jharkhand) following raids which started on November 7, 2009. Those arrested initially tried to hoodwink the cops by maintaining that the chemical was meant for use as fertiliser. "For the last three years, not even a gram of ammonium nitrate was supplied to Rohtas by the government for use as fertiliser," a senior Police officer said and added that seizure of gelatine sticks gave further credence to their belief that it was to be used for nefarious purposes. Ammonium nitrate, if mixed with diesel and triggered with gelatine sticks, can cause huge explosion. "It is a good substance for making effective explosive devices," the Police officer said. Police said the arrested persons later confessed that the chemical was to be sent to Midnapore in West Bengal and Jharkhand where Maoists were to use it to enforce their poll boycott call. Assembly elections are being held in Jharkhand in five phases beginning November 25. "Thank God, the explosives were seized in time otherwise one can very well imagine the extent of damage the Maoists would have caused during elections in Jharkhand," the Police officer said. Patna Senior Superintendent of Police Vineet Vinayak said the explosive materials were to be distributed in Maoists-hit Districts of Bihar and Jharkhand. Meanwhile, Police are still wondering from where are the Maoists getting .315 bore and 12 bore cartridges, a large number of which too were seized in raids. "These are obsolete bores, neither being produced nor in use by police or Army anywhere in the country," said Additional Director General of Police (Headquarters) U. S. Dutt. Police speculate these ammunitions might have been pilfered from army go downs. "We are working on this theory," said Dutt.
