The Hindu reports that Sashadhar Mahato alias Kiran, a top ranking cadre of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), is suspected to have been killed in an encounter with the Security Forces (SFs) in the Jhargram region of West Midnapore District on March 10. According to the District Police, SFs raided a Maoist hideout in Chandsora village, near Kushaboni forest, after receiving a tip-off about Mahato having been camping there with a group of Maoists. “As the security personnel were trying to cordon off the hideout, the Maoists became alert and opened fire on us. The forces retaliated, leading to an encounter that lasted about an hour before the Maoists fled from the area,” Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Mukesh Kumar, told The Hindu from the encounter site.

The Hindu reports that the body of Sarkar Hembram, a Police constable abducted by suspected Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres on March 3, from the Jhargram region was recovered by the Police from Chotajammal village on March 19, based on information divulged by Debdulal, a Maoist squad member of the notorious Gautam Rana-squad, arrested from Ghritabani village in the Binpur area of West Midnapore District on March 18. According to Mukesh Kumar, Additional Superintendent of Police in Jhargram, the Forces received information in the evening of March 18 that a Maoist squad headed by Suchitra Mahato was hiding in Amapuli village in the Binpur Police Station area for the past two days. Suchitra is the wife of Sashadhar Mahato, who was killed in a gunfight with the Security Forces on March 10. "The group comprising squad members Hitler, China and Hero under Suchitra's leadership was camping at the edge of an open field in Amapuli village, barely 4 km from Chandsora village where Sashadhar was killed. As the Commando Battalions for Resolute Action (CoBRA) troopers of Central Reserve Police Force tried to cordon off the area, the Maoist sentry got alerted and fired. The Forces retaliated but the Maoists fled soon after leaving behind three rifles, one carbine, small firearms, a large quantity of ammunition and some important documents.

Within 48 hours of Chief Minister (CM) Mamata Banerjee’s seven-day ultimatum to the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) to lay down arms and come to the negotiating table, joint Police Forces and Maoist squads exchanged fire at the Banksole forest in West Midnapore District on October 18, reports The Indian Express. It was an “intelligence based operation”. The police seized a .303 rifle, 10 live cartridges, three empty cases, a detonator and Maoist literature and transistors, said Gaurav Sharma, Superintendent of Police (SP), Jhargram. When asked if there was any mandate from the government to launch such an operation when the Chief Minister had given a seven-day ultimatum to the Maoists, Alok Rajoria, Additional SP (Operations), Jhargram said: “If there is an armed movement, we have to operate.” Vivek Sahai, Inspector General, Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) said, “We have no order to restrict our operations. The operations are on.” The confrontation came on a day the CM talked to Government-appointed interlocutors at Writers’ Buildings (State Secretariat) to discuss the peace process with the Maoists. In Kolkata, chief interlocutor Sujato Bhadra said after the discussions with Mamata Banerjee that “the dialogue process is on and will continue”. According to sources, during the closed-door meeting, the CM is said to have asked the interlocutors to get a written statement from a Maoist central committee member that during the peace process, there will be no killing in Jungle Mahal and display of armed action.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) Politburo member Mallojula Koteshwar Rao alias Kishanji, the man who controlled Maoist operations in eastern India, was cornered and killed in a massive security operation after a two-hour gun battle in Kushaboni forest in Jhargram on the West Bengal-Jharkhand border in West Midnapore District on November 24, reports The Times of India. The recovery of Kishanji's AK-47 rifle and a hearing aid, the CPI-Maoist politburo member is known to have been using, lent heft to the claim that the yet unclaimed body was that of Kishanji. But officials said they needed to close a one percent gap to make a formal announcement. "Most likely it is Kishanji. The officers on the spot said it is Kishanji and most likely, 99%, it is Kishanji," said Union Home secretary R K Singh. "We have said we have to be certain before we declare." The operation that netted Kishanji, who has repeatedly eluded such dragnets in the past three years, began in the night of November 22. It culminated in one of the biggest and fiercest battles in Jungle Mahal with some 500 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel and anti-Maoist commandos, backed by local policemen, taking on 150-odd Maoist cadres. Thousands of rounds were fired in the Kushaboni forest in Jhargram, 200 kilometres west of Kolkata. After the gun battle stopped CRPF commandos quickly moved in and found a body closely resembling Kishanji. Three more bodies were also found. The Security Forces were still searching for Kishanji’s trusted aide Suchitra Mahato, wife of slain Maoist leader Sashadhar Mahato, who was with him during the encounter and is believed to be injured in the encounter.
