Telegraph reports that during a joint operation, a special task force (STF) team and District Police personnel shot dead a ‘sub-zonal commander’ of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), identified as Babulal Munda alias Marandi, also known as Raman, and four other cadres in the evening of January 4 in the Baish Resham forest area, nearly 30 kilometres from the Hazaribagh District headquarters. The encounter took place when the Security Forces reached the Baish Resham forest area where the Maoists were holding a meeting. Hazaribagh Superintendent of Police Pankaj Kamboj confirmed the exchange of fire and admitted recovery of the body of the killed extremist. Few other bodies, however, were taken away by the extremists who had escaped taking advantage of the poor visibility condition in the evening, Kamboj said.

Six Policemen were killed in a landmine blast triggered by suspected Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) in the Latehar District on January 17, reports Times of India. "The explosion took place around 1.30 pm when the police personnel were on patrol at Do-Pahani village,'' Inspector General (Police) G. S. N. Pradhan said. While five Policemen died on the spot, one constable succumbed to his injuries in the hospital. Police suspect the possibility of Maoists triggering the blast to avenge their ‘zonal commander’ Sashi Bhuiyan's arrest in the Gumla District on January 15. The explosion coincided with a bandh (shut down) called by the CPI-Maoist in Gumla, Simdega, Latehar, Lohardaga and Ranchi Districts in protest against Bhuiyan's arrest.

ANI reports that left-wing extremists killed four security guards of the Abhijeet Group at the site office of the group’s proposed power plant at Chakla village in Latehar District late in the night of April 5. While three guards died on the spot, another succumbed to his injuries on the way to hospital. One injured guard was admitted to a Ranchi hospital. According to officials, the extremists had demanded a levy of INR two million from the company. The Abhijeet Group had apparently refused to pay the amount. “A chit was found on the place of this incident, in which Sanyukta Krantikari Committee (United Revolutionary Committee) is claiming responsibility for the incident. Although we have never heard of this group earlier, this is a serious crime committed by them,” said District Superintendent of Police Hemant Toppo.

A day earlier in the same District, the Maoists triggered a landmine blast at Varnia Ghati in the hilly tracts of Barwadi blowing up a bus ferrying the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel leading to an exchange of fire with the Security Forces in which two CRPF personnel, a civilian driver and five Maoists were killed. Immediately after the blast, 80 CRPF constables, who had earlier alighted from the bus fearing a Maoist attack since a road stretch had a sharp incline slowing down traffic and were walking behind the vehicle, took positions and fired on the extremists, Inspector General of Police (Provisions) S.N. Pradhan said. Parliamentary elections are scheduled to be held in the State in two phases on April 16 (today) and April 23.

Two Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel and a Police driver were killed and six others injured in a twin landmine blast triggered by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) near Lapung village under Bishunpur Police Station of Gumla District on November 22, reports Times of India. Sources said the landmines, connected in series, exploded simultaneously completely damaging the anti-landmine vehicle in which the Security Force personnel were travelling. While head constable Pramod Kumar Singh and Constable Arvind Sarkar of the CRPF (D-41 Battalion) died on the spot, District Police driver Prakash Minz, who was driving the anti-landmine vehicle, succumbed to his injuries later. The CRPF Deputy Inspector General Alok Raj said the blasts occurred when the CRPF personnel were on their way from Gumla town to Jorri village under Bishunpur Police Station following the blowing up of a primary health centre (PHC) at the village by Maoists late the night of November 21. "It appears that the Maoists lay in wait to ambush the security personnel after damaging the PHC," Raj added. A total of 14 security personnel, including the Police driver, were travelling in the vehicle when Maoist triggered the blasts. The intensity of the blasts were such that it threw the CRPF vehicle 10-feet in the air and created a huge crater at the spot. "Though security personnel were wearing protection gear, the impact of the explosions led to the death of three securitymen," Jharkhand Police spokesperson and Inspector General (human rights) V. H. Deshmukh said. "The Maoists are trying to disrupt the poll process and even announced to boycott the polls. We have information that Maoists could disrupt the poll process and hence intensive anti-Maoist operations are being launched," he added. The D-41 battalion was earlier stationed in Bhopal had been deployed in Gumla District on November 16 for conduct of assembly elections scheduled on December 2. Assembly polls would be held in the State in five phases from November 27 to December 18.
