Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) said it has not been able to recover any arms from the camps allegedly run by the ruling Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) in Lalgarh and its adjoining Districts of West Bengal on January 29. “A list was given to us by the court mentioning the location of armed camps in the three districts (Midnapore, Bankura and Purulia) and we distributed the list to the field officers so that they can conduct raids in their areas,” Inspector General (IG CRPF) T B Rao said. “The raids were being conducted for a week or so but so far there has not been any positive result,” Rao said, adding that by “positive result”, he meant that no weapons have been recovered from the camps.

Two landmines, believed to be embedded with sensors, were defused at Saroa village in Salboni area of West Midnapore District on October 2, reports The Times of India. Local villagers said while one was spotted on a culvert, the other was lying barely 300 meters away from it. Police said the joint operation is already under way and such a tactic by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) to cause collateral damage can't be ruled out in the near future too. The place where the mines were placed is an important transit point for the forces and is frequented by villagers. Police later launched a search operation and recovered 10 sacks full of sulphur and sodium nitrate from Kendudanga village under Sankrail Police Station.

Hindustan Times reports on November 10 that the Mamata Banerjee Government has given the green signal for operations against the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) in Jungle Mahal. The chief minister's office (CMO) issued the order to for an all-out assault. Senior officers have been told to target senior leaders and the chief minister has sought immediate results, said an official. The assault would be based on the Andhra model of anti-Naxal operations and would be held in collaboration with the Jharkhand Police. "We are under pressure to show results," said a senior police officer of West Midnapore. "We have specific instructions to flush out Maoists from our borders and catch senior Maoist leaders like Akash, Bikash, Jayanto. We are also tracking Koteshwar Rao alias Kishenji, who recently used to frequent Bengal." Police sources said an Indian Police Service (IPS) officer would be posted at each sensitive police station in the Maoist belt. The CMO has allocated land for permanent bases of central forces in Jungle Mahal and requested for the recall of the CoBRA commandos sent to Jharkhand after the anti-Maoist operations were stalled in West Bengal. The process of recruiting fresh IPS officers in the Maoist-hit West Midnapore, Bankura and Purulia has started.

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.
