A Special Task Force recovered a huge cache of explosives from the storeroom of a construction firm in Giridih District on information provided by one Firdaus, Telegraph reported. Referring to the incident, the Giridih Superintendent of Police, A.V. Minz, said the raid, conducted in the night of July 18 at Progressive Construction Limited (PCL) in Bagoder, yielded 1,964 kilograms of gelatin and 15,000 meters of fuse wire. An unnamed Bagoder Police station officer said the explosives were stored in more than 50 boxes inside the room. The storekeeper, identified as Mahesh Madela, was arrested in this connection. “PCL officials said the explosives were to be used for making roads. But they could furnish papers for just 450 kilograms of gelatin and 1,500 metres fuse wire. They also showed four invoices of the same date,” Minz said. A.V. Minz added that Firduas had confessed his links with the Kundan Pahan squad. Earlier, Police in capital Ranchi arrested Firdaus, a 40-year-old resident of Hindpiri, in the evening of July 18 along with a 9-mm pistol, two mobile phones, four SIM cards and INR 2,400.

A self-styled ‘sub-zonal commander’ of the little known Jharkhand People’ Liberation Elam (JPLE), a breakaway faction of the People Liberation Front of India (PLFI) which was earlier known as Jharkhand Liberation Tigers (JLT), was arrested from a village in the Burmu Police station area in the morning of July 30, reports Telegraph.

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.

"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.
