Navin's dasta which is stationed in Jharkhand has an expertise in laying such IEDs in rural and non-metallic roads. These IEDs were discovered in rural non-metallic roads which were laid more for the protection of the retreating Maoists from Bihar's Aurangabad.

Six Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres were killedin an encounter with the Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBRA) commandos of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and the Jharkhand Police in Latehar District on November 23 (today), reports New Indian Express.

The mukhiya (village headman) of Jargo panchayat (village level local self government institution) in Tamar block in Ranchi District, Jeevan Singh Munda (38), was dragged out of his home by unidentified assailants, masquerading as Police, and shot dead on December 11, reports The Telegraph. Communist party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) posters found near his body read that Munda was being "punished for being a Police informer" and others should learn a lesson from his death. The forested spot where the mukhiya's body was found is 25 kilometres from Tamar thana (Police Station) and around 80 kilometres from the State capital, Ranchi. An unnamed local resident claimed that Munda was once a Maoist sympathizer, adding, "But, he parted ways with the rebels three years ago and entered mainstream politics. Currently, he did not have any political affiliation and facilitated construction of rural roads to help Police movement in the area." Rural Superintendent of Police (SP), Raj Kumar Lakra said, "Four Maoist posters found near his body said he had paid the price for being a police informer. But, there is nothing on record to prove that the deceased was an informer. We are also not aware of his past Maoist links."Meanwhile, acting on a tip-off by local residents, Police recovered a huge cache of 120 Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), two cylinder bombs, weighing five kilograms each, and 200 metres of codex wire, used in landmine blasts, from a Maoist hideout in Barwaiya forests of Manika in Latehar District on December 11, reports The Telegraph. The explosives were found hidden underneath rocks atop a hillock in the dense forests. Latehar, SP, Anoop Birtharay said the explosives belonged to the Maoist squad of ‘sub-zonal commander’ Shravan Yadav who carried a reward of INR 500,000 on his head. "At present, he has been located in Gaya district of neighbouring Bihar. Almost all Maoist squads have fled the district following recent search operations but they have sympathisers who extend them logistic support," said SP, Birtharay. Sharing the credit of the recovery with the villagers, he said it was an outcome of community policing. "I regularly visit the remote villages and introduce community policing there," added SP, Birtharay. Police sources said Maoist squads of ‘sub-zonal commanders’ Ugreshwar Yadav and Virendra Yadav, who too carried INR 500,000 rewards each on their heads, also used to operate in Latehar. Following recent operations, they have hidden their arms and ammunition and fled to safer havens.

Police arrested two cadres of the Tritiya Prastuti Committee (TPC), a Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) splinter group, after a fierce gunbattle in a dense forest area of Herhanj in Latehar District on December 19, seizing, among others, an AK- 47 and an INSAS (Indian Small Arms System) rifle, two 3.3 and .315 guns and over 600 cartridges, reports The Telegraph. Preliminary inquiries suggest that the weapons had possibly been stolen from Police. Early this morning, Latehar Superintendent of Police (SP), Anoop Birtharay received a tip-off about a Tritiya Prastuti committee squad moving around in the dense forests of Herhanj, about 75 kilometres from the District headquarters and 175 kilometres from Ranchi. After verification, he formed special teams comprising the State Police and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) to take them on from multiple directions. Police sources said the rebels were cooking a meal, when Police zeroed in on them. The rebels were the first to open fire after which the Police retaliated. Finally, the rebels started to flee, leaving behind some of their weapons and essentials. "The arrested rebels, Chhotu Thakur and Manoj Ganju, both around 25 years of age, are being brought to Latehar district headquarters. They are being interrogated. Around 35 rebels were present when the encounter began. No policeman has been injured in the operation," SP, Birtharay said.
