PTI reports that two cadres of the Communist party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) were killed and an equal number were arrested in an encounter with the joint force of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and State Armed Police personnel at Madhupur village in the Salboni area of West Midnapore District on September 2.

There was no casualty among the Security Force personnel who have recovered the bodies of the two Maoists identified as squad leaders, Verma said.

Times of India reports that three cadres of the ruling Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) and one cadre of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-backed People's Committee against Police Atrocities (PCPA) were killed in a gun-battle in West Midnapore District’s Lalgarh in the morning of June 14. Nine other CPI-M cadres have gone missing and are believed to have met with the same fate as their party comrades. On June 14 around 9.30am, the bullet-riddled bodies of the three CPI-M workers — Asit Samanta, Prabir Mahato and Naru Samanta — were found behind a bush on the Lalgarh-Dharampur road, barely 500m from CPI-M’s Dharampur local committee office. PCPA cadre Arun Mahato's body was found later in the evening besides the Jirapara canal.

Maoists triggered landmines as the SFs moved deeper into Lalgarh area from the Goaltore end and re-captured Kadasol, 14 kilometres from Lalgarh. Several improvised explosive devices were recovered and defused. “The Maoists triggered three landmine blasts in which none of the joint force personnel was injured. The bomb detection squad of the Criminal Investigation Department defused seven mines, while three were exploded in a controlled manner,” Inspector-General of Police (Law and Order) Raj Kanojia said.

An intermittent exchange of fire between Security Forces (SFs) and the Maoists continued in the Lalgarh region of West Midnapore District on August 12, reports The Hindu. Security Forces chased a group of about 100 Maoists early in the day at Chandavila village where they had taken shelter. With the Maoists opening fire, a gun-battle ensued with the SF personnel retaliating, the Police said. The extremists fled the village and entered Purnapani village where another encounter followed. Faced with heavy firing from the troops, the Maoists split in two groups — one proceeding towards Tarki village and the other entering the dense Bhulagara forest. The Bhulagara group was encircled by the SFs after a brief encounter and some of them were arrested. However, none of the group members who fled towards Tarki could be arrested. District Police Superintendent Manoj Kumar Verma told The Hindu, “Some Maoists have been arrested and are being interrogated now. Heavy fire exchange took place in four places though there was no casualty on our side.” One of the arrested has been identified as Baidyanath Hembram (20) of Rautara village in the region. However, no weapon was found on him at the time of arrest.

Times of India reports that Security Forces exchanged fire with a group of 50-60 cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) near Bandih village at the foot of Ayodhya Hills near Kanthaljore forest in Purulia District in the early morning of September 11. The exchange of fire started at 1.30 am (IST) and lasted around 15 minutes, after which the Maoists fled towards Jharkhand. However, there were no casualties in the encounter. Few hours earlier, around 11.30 pm (IST) on September 10, the same Maoist group in military fatigue raided the house of a local leader of ruling Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M), Badan Paramanik, in Burudih village in the same District. Badan, whose name figures on the Maoist hitlist, has been staying away from home for some time. Failing to find him, the Maoists assaulted his son Goutam and wife Sabitri outside their home and warned that all of them would be killed if Badan did not quit the party immediately. They set ablaze to a haystack in the house before leaving. Further, the Maoists then went to the house of Chunnu Gorai, a well-heeled farmer, at the other end of the village and asked him to hand over his licensed gun. "As I refused to do so, they threatened to blow up my house using landmines. My wife then urged me to hand over the gun and I did so. The Maoists left, but only after hurling a few bombs outside our house in a bid to create panic among villagers," Gorai recalled.

According to Times of India, scores of armed cadres and militia of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) attacked a party office of the ruling Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) at Enayetpur, 15 kilometres from Midnapore near Lalgarh in West Midnapore District in the afternoon of September 21 triggering a gun battle that has so far left at least 15 people dead. Most of the dead are believed to be CPI-M workers. The Maoist gunmen are reportedly led by Koteswar Rao alias Kishan and Bikash. According to sources, about 200 CPI-M supporters had assembled at the Enayetpur party office over the last three weeks, apparently to stop the Maoist advance towards Midnapore town. Many of them had also taken shelter there, with the Maoists killing CPM men almost every day. On September 21, many of them had left to celebrate Eid festival. Only 50-odd CPI-M cadres held fort at the party office. In the afternoon, a 10,000-strong group of tribals, many of them carrying firearms, started marching towards the office, led by Kishan and Bikash. At 5pm (IST), the Maoist assault party started surrounding the building.

Times of India reports that armed cadres of the People’s Committee against Police Atrocities (PCPA) as well as that of Communist party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) laid siege to the Bhubaneswar-New Delhi Rajdhani Express at Banstala Railway Station, eight kilometres from Jhargram town in West Midnapore District, on October 27. The Security Forces rushing to the site for rescue operation were ambushed by the Maoists, triggering an encounter in which two PCPA men were killed and a Policeman was injured. After the gunfight, the PCPA cadres and the Maoists managed to escape. The Security Forces later reached the spot at 7.30pm (IST) and the train left an hour later. The PCPA cadres were demanding the release of Chhatradhar Mahato, the PCPA leader, who was arrested on September 26. Earlier at around 2:30pm, the Maoists held the train driver hostage and encircled the train for about five hours at Banstala. Some passengers were also injured in brick-batting.

The Hindu reports that the 72-hour bandh (shutdown) called by the Maoist-backed People’s Committee against Police Atrocities (PCPA) in the Jhargram sub-division of West Midnapore District began on November 12, with its supporters setting a pick-up van afire at Sapdhara near Jhargram. Police sources said one villager suffered a bullet injury in a fierce gunfight between the Security Forces (SFs) and cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) at Bakshi in the Kotwali area of the Lalgarh region. The bandh was called to protest against the alleged highhandedness of the SFs towards PCPA supporters at a rally staged in front of the office of Jhargram’s Sub-Divisional Officer. Protesters set ablaze the van early in the day and left posters demanding withdrawal of the central SFs from the region and an immediate release of all PCPA leaders, including its chief Chhatradhar Mahato. The Sub-Divisional Officer, P. Ulganathan, said the sub-division witnessed a “complete shutdown, though there was no incident other than the torching of the van.”

Telegraph reports that two suspected Maoists were shot dead by the Security Forces near Jhargram during a gun battle that injured at least seven villagers caught in the crossfire. The Police identified the slain duo as Santu Mahato, 26, and Kajol Mahato, 22. The People’s Committee against Police Atrocities, meanwhile, said they were its leaders, “killed when the police fired indiscriminately at villagers”. Santu’s body has been retrieved but Kajol’s was lying deeper in the Boira forest. During a patrol along a State Highway that connects Kharagpur with Jhargram, the joint forces learnt that mines had been planted near Boira. Two companies (around 200 personnel) went there with a bomb squad and defused two improvised devices at around 3pm (IST). 15 minutes after the force had picked up two men on suspicion that they may have planted the mines, 500 villagers surrounded them protesting arrests. The Maoists opened fire from an adjoining forest, a Police official said, adding, “The Maoists tried to put the villagers in the line of fire. Shots rang out as we started lobbing tear-gas shells to drive the villagers away.” The encounter on the fringes of Boira forest, 12 kilometres from Jhargram town, started around 3.30pm and continued till 9pm.
