Meanwhile, a Can-bomb weighing around 20 kilograms and a 200-metre electric wire were found from a one-foot deep pit at Shantinagar under Adityapur Thana (Police post) area in Seraikela-Kharsawan District on July 3, reports The Telegraph. Informed by a local resident, Police swung into action by pressing into service a bomb disposal squad from Ranchi who blasted the bomb. Seraikela-Kharsawan Superintendent of Police (SP), Chandan Kumar Sinha said, "The bomb had been kept hidden, but we can't say whether it had been kept there by any rebel outfit. May be the bomb was kept for future use." He said Police were trying hard to identify the persons involved in bringing the Improvised Explosive Device (IED) to a place like Shantinagar. However, a source in Adityapur said it was the handiwork of CPI-Maoist rebels. "The rebels had made their presence felt up to Kandra during 2010, when the Naxalite [Left Wing Extremist (LWE)] activities were at their peak. Kandra, which is also under Seraikela-Kharsawan, is 15km from the spot where the bomb was found," a Police officer said.

Meanwhile, Khunti Police, on December 4, arrested three cadres of the Peoples' Liberation Front of India (PLFI), a splinter group of the CPI-Maoist, for the murder of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Bhaiya Ram Munda (38) in Murhu Police limits in Khunti District on December 1, reports The Telegraph. The arrested have been identified as Achu Munda, Ladu Munda and Raja Ram Munda. A pistol and cartridges were recovered from their possession. The trio told Police that PLFI ‘zonal commander’ Prabhu Sahay had demanded INR 200,000 from a contractor engaged in a road project between Bagma and Goa villages in Murhu. He initially gave INR 70,000 to site manager Raja Ram, one of the arrested, who did not deliver the amount to Sahay and instead told him that Bhaiya Ram, who was also involved with the project, had been asked to arrange the money. Consequently, Sahay told him to pay INR 200,000 by November 30. But Bhaiya Ram neither informed Police nor did he settle the misunderstanding with the PLFI ‘chief’. On December 1, Sahay and his henchmen gunned him down.Achu was jailed in October last year for carrying PLFI pamphlets, posters and banners and was released on bail a few months ago. Ladu was also booked in the same month for illegal poppy cultivation on his land. Raja Ram swindled extortion money which led to the mix-up. The rebels, who are also into illegal poppy cultivation, are natives of Bagma village where Bhaiya Ram used to stay. Preliminary probe suggested that the BJP leader was killed because of a misunderstanding with the outfit on payment of ‘extortion money’. A section of villagers were also unhappy with him because he helped Police destroy illegal poppy cultivation in the area.
