Seven Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) troopers were killed and 12 critically injured in an encounter with the Communist Party of India-(Maoist) cadres at Karmatiya forests of Latehar District of Jharkhand on January 7, reports The Times of India. Two Maoists were also killed, the Police said quoting villagers. Hundreds of Maoists ambushed 200-odd troopers patrolling the forest around 10.30am, in what is being seen as a possible retaliation to ‘Operation Anaconda-II’ in Saranda forests. In the gun-battle, which went on for more than eight hours, several Police personnel were critically injured, two of whom belong to Jharkhand Jaguar. The encounter ended around 8 pm. Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG), Palamu range, Praveen Singh confirmed the deaths. Six companies of CRPF and two of Jharkhand Jaguar were combing the Karmatiya jungles when the ambush took place. According to Jharkhand Police figures, a total of 24 persons were killed in Latehar in 2011 by the Maoists. The Indian Express, however, reported that one Jharkhand Jaguar Special Task Force Policeman was shot dead by Maoists and three CRPF troopers were missing. The Maoist group involved in the encounter is believed to have been headed by Arvind, an important leader thought to be holed up in the area for the past 25 days. The CRPF had been camping there since December 20, 2012, to try and capture him. The encounter, named ‘Operation Saamna’, involved about 220 CRPF and some Jharkhand Police personnel. Officials claimed at least four Maoists were killed, but no bodies have been recovered.

Acceding to The Times of India, a woman was leading the attack on Security Force (SF) personnel at Karmatiya forest in Latehar Distinct of Jharkhand that killed 11 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) troopers on January 7. Two Maoists were also killed in return fire on January 7 and 16 SF personnel were injured. The Maoists on January 8 killed two civilians taking the death toll to 15. Combing operation was intensified following the second attack. The two civilians were killed and one critically injured when bombs exploded on Tuesday afternoon during search for more bodies inside the forest, said Latehar Superintendent of Police (SP) Kranti Kumar Garhdeshi. The Maoists had planted the bombs inside the dead bodies, which were ripped to pieces the moment the search team tried to recover them. The Latehar SP said the civilians were killed while they were accompanying Police personnel. Around 300 CRPF and Jharkhand Jaguar personnel treaded deep into the Karmatiya jungles, about 250km from Ranchi as part of a combing operation when Maoists started indiscriminate firing from tree tops and hills. Over 600 Maoists, led by senior leaders, were present in the Latehar jungles and around 30 of them have been injured. CPI-Maoist central committee member Arvind was the leader behind the attacks, said Police sources. Many of the Maoists were dressed like SF personnel.

Three People's Liberation Front of India (PLFI), a splinter group of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres were killed by a mob of 100 villagers near Darntoli-Sanwariya villages in Gumla District of Jharkhand, on February 15, reports The Times of India. Two country-made pistols, six bullets and three mobile handsets were recovered from them. Two of the deceased have been identified as Parmeshwar Oraon of Dohri village and Prakash Oraon of Dahu-Navatoli village under Sisai Police Station of the same District. Police Inspector Amish Hussein said, "On Thursday [February 14] they reached the village looking for Mana Baraik's daughter who had gone to work in a brick kiln. They threatened Baraik's daughter in-law and also abducted two school going boys of the village including Champa Oraon at gun point." The activities of PLFI men angered the villagers of Sanwariya who held a meeting on February 14 night and in the early morning on February 15 to discuss what to do with them. When the trio was attacked they even talked over the phone with Sukra Oraon, ‘sub-zonal’ commander of PLFI requesting him to rescue them. The dead were suspected to be associated with Oraon's group of PLFI.

Security Forces (SFs), engaged in anti-Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) operations in Latehar District, faced a tough time on June 28 moving further into the dense forests as the entire terrain was strewn with landmines and in the last 48 hours, the Maoists had triggered more than 100 explosions, reports The Times of India. The forces claimed to have killed at least eight suspected Maoists in Latehar District on June 27. Police sources said intermittent exchange of fire is going on in the forests and they suspect presence of at least 250 Maoists in the forests, including top leader Arvindji who led the major attack on security forces in Latehar in January. "We are taking very calculated steps and hope that this time Arvindji and his group, which managed to move out of Gumla and Lohardaga, will not manage to escape," said a source. Director General of Police (DGP) Rajeev Kumar, who visited the encounter site in Latehar jungles and interacted with the personnel and officer, said the place has been heavily mined. The DGP said that keeping in mind ground realities and difficult terrain they expect that encounter is expected to continue for another four to five days.

Pakur District Superintendent of Police (SP) Amarjit Balihar (45) and four other Policemen were killed in an ambush by Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres in Kathikund forest area of Dumka District on July 2, reports The Indian Express.
