Fourcadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) were killed in the morning of February 19 (today) following a nine-hour encounter with Security Forces (SFs) in the Taimara valley on NH-33 in Ranchi District and four firearms were seized, Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) Inspector General (IG) Rakesh Kumar Mishra confirmed, reports Times of India. The police have recovered four dead bodies and a process to identify them is on. All the four dead Maoists were in Maoist fatigue. Two CRPF troopers were injured in the initial hours of encounter.The operation began on specific inputs around 9 pm in the night of February 18. Ranchi Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Kuldeep Dwivedi, who led the operations, said intermittent firing continued throughout the night. "The Maoists, around 40 in number, were led by two top commanders. It was a strong team which engaged the cops in the operation all through the night," Dwivedi, who camped in the valley at night, stated. Dwivedi said police had information that a group of Maoists were passing through Ghaghrabera village in the valley and that an ambush was laid. "The Maoists opened fire on our team when cops asked them to lay down arms. The forces retaliated very strongly," the SSP said. The Maoists were going to a safe place when they were ambushed. One of the slain Maoists is a woman. "Two of them were carrying SLR. It suggests that they enjoyed a higher rank in the outfit," IG Mishra said. The Maoists were led by central committee member Vivekji and Mithileshji. "It is not known if the slain Maoists include any of the two or none," an unnamed Police officer said. Dileep Singh, assistant commandant CRPF, said other Maoists managed to escape after putting up a strong resistance. Two company CRPF, one SSB company and district police were part of the operation team.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres have set ablaze 35 vehicles in the past five months in Jharkhand, reports The Business Standard on May 25. Between January 19 and May 24, a total of 35 vehicles involved in construction work have been torched in the State. The vehicles were set ablaze in Ranchi, Dumka, Lohardaga, Gumla, Chaibasa, Ramgarh and other districts of the State. "Maoists main source of earning is extortion and levy from the development and construction work. In the past, police cracked down on many companies involved in road construction that were giving levy to Maoists. This dented Maoists source of earning in a big way. The denial of levy led them to torch vehicles," said a Police official involved in anti-Maoist operations.Meanwhile, the State Police with the help of paramilitary forces have destroyed many bunkers and recovered more than 2,000 landmines.

Suspected People’s Liberation Front of India (PLFI) cadres killed six ‘criminals’ near Horindag rivulet in Tupudana area of Ranchi District on June 27, reports The Telegraph. All the dead bodies along with 15 used cartridges, three motorbikes and six mobile phones - two of them broken into pieces - were found from the spot. Sources identified the victims as Jaquir Hussain, Anil Pahan, Aman Yadav, Manish Pahan, Parwaz and Raza - all in the age group of 20-25 years. Commenting on the incident, Inspector General of Police (IGP) (Human Rights) and State Police Spokesperson M.S. Bhatia said "Prima facie it seems PLFI is involved in the incident. Preliminary probe suggests those killed were also criminals and Jaquir Hussain was the kingpin. Apart from loot and dacoity, he also used to extort money from businessmen and traders." PLFI is a splinter group of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist).

A People’s Liberation Front of India (PLFI) ‘area commander’ and eight cadres of his squad surrendered with their arms before the Police in Ranchi District on October 17, reports The Telegraph. The ‘area commander’ Lal Bihari Singh alias Lalu, who carried a reward of INR 200,000 on his head, and his trusted lieutenant Jirga Lugun also handed over their .315 rifles and cartridges to the Director General of Police (DGP) D.K. Pandey in the presence of Inspector General (IG) (operations) M.S. Bhatia during the event at the State Police headquarters. The other seven cadres have been identified as Ganju Lugun, Birsa Lugun, Goma Lugun, Samu Lugun, Mitu Lugun, Sado Lugun and Achu Herenj - each carrying a reward of INR 100,000 on his head and native of West Singhbhum District. Police said Lalu and seven of his aides were aged between 18 and 22 years while Achu Herenj was only 15. "You can see all of them are poor tribals. They were forced to take up arms at an age when they were unable to differentiate right and wrong," Pandey stressed. Most of them had joined the outfit three years ago under various compulsions. "I was a Class V student in 2013, when PLFI area commander Amar Gudia had come to my village in Bandgaon. He threatened to eliminate my entire family if I did not join his fold," Herenj, youngest among the nine, the DGP said. PLFI is a splinter group of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist).Later, addressing the media, DGP D.K. Pandey said the Police department would hire 15,000 personnel next year. The recruitment will be carried out to raise two women battalions, three Indian Reserve Battalion (IRB) battalions and two Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group (PVTG) battalions. Also, 2,500 Assistant Sub-Inspectors (ASIs) and equal number of associate constables will be hired. Total 33 per cent of the jobs will be reserved for women. According to the DGP, the department has worked out extensive plans to improve basic amenities in remote areas, paving the way for mobile phone connectivity, banking services, apart from education and power supply. "We have facilitated installation of 786 mobile phone towers in remote areas across the state. 125 such towers will soon provide 4G services, which will facilitate e-banking and ATM services in remote villages," he added.

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.
