Six CPI-Maoist cadres, disguised as pilgrims, were arrested along with 1,100 self-loading rifles (SLR) cartridges after a brief encounter near Silli village on the Silli-Gola road at around 2.30am (IST) on August 23. Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Praveen Kumar said the breakthrough had come after someone tipped them about the ammunition supply. “I have informed my Munger counterpart who is conducting raids to arrest the supplier,” Kumar added, saying seven rounds of firing took place before the six persons could be arrested. Those arrested were identified as Bholo Shaw alias David, Pradeep Mahto, Rajesh Kumar Mahto, Prafulla Kumar Mahto, Mandal Das and Murari Hussian. Except Pradeep and Hussain, all were dressed as pilgrims visiting Baidyanath Dham during Shravan Mela (religious fair). Pradeep, riding the motorcycle, was escorting the ammunition-laden car, driven by Hussain, in which the other four were also traveling. Kumar said that Pradeep was arrested first near the village, about 40 kilometres from Ranchi. “After interrogation, Pradeep divulged the information and we targeted the car,” he added. The cartridges, supposed to be handed over to Maoist ‘sub-zonal’ commander Kundan Pahan were carried from Munger in Bihar in a car escorted by a motorcycle. Kumar said Bholo alias David was a key member of the Pahan group. “He has been active in Bundu and Tamar for the past four years and can be called Kundan’s right hand. He is wanted in at least 12 cases registered in Bundu and Tamar police stations,” he added.

At least two Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres were killed in an encounter with the Police in the Ranchi District on September 4, reports Telegraph. A gun battle ensued between the two sides when the Maoists opened fire towards a Police picket at Baruhatu forest in the Bundu Police Station area around 1.30am (IST). At least 700 rounds of bullets were fired from automatic and semi-automatic weapons during the encounter that continued for nearly three hours. Superintendent of Police (SP), Anup T. Mathew, confirmed the incident saying the Police forced the Maoists to retreat. “The rebels had opened fire from the hilly terrain side and wanted to damage the picket, which hinders their subversive activities. We killed at least two rebels,” Mathew said. He said the purpose of the attack was to divert the attention of the police who have intensified operations in other parts of Bundu.

Three Naxalites (left wing extremists) of the Jharkhand Prastuti Committee (JPC), a breakaway faction of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), were arrested after an encounter with the Police at Churugarha, about 70 kilometers from Ranchi, the Police said on September 8, reported PTI. The Police reached the spot after getting a tip-off that a group of JPC cadres had assembled at Churugarha to plot a crime in the night of September 7. The JPC cadres started firing as soon as they spotted the Police, triggering a two-hour long gun-battle before the Naxalites tried to flee. The police, however, chased and arrested three of them. Three rifles and some ammunition were seized from their possession, Senior Superintendent of Police Praveen Kumar said. Over 150 bullets were fired by both the sides, he added and claimed that some of the Naxalites had suffered bullet wounds, but they managed to escape. “One of the three arrested Naxalites, identified as Raj Kumar Ganju, is a big catch for the police,” he added further. Ganju was allegedly involved in a number of cases.

Security Forces killed two Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres in a fierce gun battle in Ranchi District on December 11, according to CNN-IBN. The SFs fired 500 rounds of bullets and also lobbed grenades. A huge cache of arms and ammunition including 200 kilograms of explosives, 100 detonators and 30 kilograms can bombs were also recovered. However, Times of India reported that Police busted a Maoist camp killing one extremist and injuring three others. The incident occurred at Anteorda village at the tri-junction of Ranchi, Seraikela and West Singhbhum Districts. "Police fired around 500 rounds, used four high explosives, 14 hand grenades in which one Maoist was killed while three were reportedly injured and the camp was busted by police," Ranchi Senior Superintendent of Police Praveen Kumar. "Around 70 Maoists took advantage of the low visibility and managed to flee through a small stream. But local people confirmed that Maoists were spotted taking their injured counterparts with them," he added. "Police recovered two single-barrel guns, one double-barrel gun, 200 kg ammonium nitrate, 200 kg semi-liquid explosive gel, two landmines weighing 30 kg, 200 detonators, 50 metre codex wire, 100 Duracell batteries, 25 camera flashes," said Kumar. Among other things recovered by Police were several kilograms of food grain meant for nearly 70 people, cooked food, 15 rucksacks of medicines for cerebral malaria, first aid kits and 200 soap cases to be used for making country-made bombs and two large barbed wire cutters. "The IAF helicopter was largely used during a recce mission to guide the movement of security men through the thick jungle," said Kumar, adding that a company of Security Forces will move into the forest in the morning of December 12 (today). "Looking at the recoveries, it appears that Maoists were planning a major attack during the ongoing election or attack police pickets or a camp of security forces," he added.
