According to Telegraph, Mangal Soren, a supporter of the ruling Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M), who had been trying to mobilise public opinion against a bandh (shutdown) backed by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) was killed in the Binpur area of West Midnapore District on August 28. Mangal Soren was tilling his land when five assailants on motorcycles called him and shot him from close and later As Mangal slumped to the ground, they hacked him. An axe flew out of the hand of one of the attackers and hit another farmer at a distance. Sital Hembram, who survived the blow on his back, told villagers he saw a familiar face among the five and the residents of Ergoda village set out for the house of Chandan Mahato, a Jharkhand Party (Naren) supporter in neighbouring Guiara village. In Chandan’s absence, the mob dragged out his 63-year old father Biren Mahato and hacked him with daggers and also shot him. “We think Mangal’s murder was the handiwork of Maoists.

A supporter of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-backed Police Santrash Birodhi Janasadharaner Committee (PSBJC) was shot dead and five other PSBJC supporters suffered bullet injuries in a clash with Security Forces (SFs) in front of the Satpati camp in the Lalgarh area of West Midnapore District on December 11, according to The Hindu. Though the name of the victim, Tilak Tudu, was confirmed by the Superintendent of Police (SP) Manoj Kumar Verma, the identities as well as the exact number of the injured could not be established till later in the day. According to the PSBJC spokesperson Asit Mahato, the SF personnel opened fire on villagers in the evening of December 10 when the latter protested against alleged high-handedness of the SFs. "Several CPI (M) cadres, dressed as security force personnel, have taken shelter at the Satpati camp. They were misbehaving with the local residents when the villagers protested…one of our supporters, Biplab Betal, was killed on the spot as the forces started firing at the local crowd and five more were injured," Mahato told The Hindu over phone from the Lalgarh region. The SP Verma, however, denied that the Police had opened fire at first and claimed that the SFs retaliated only when suspected Maoists in the crowd fired at the camp. Further, the PSBJC leadership called for a gherao of the Satpati camp in protest against incident of its supporters being fired at. Elaborate security arrangements were made around the Satpati camp to avoid any more untoward incident. The PSBJC supporters put up blockades on the road connecting Lalgarh with Midnapore town with felled tress at several places. There were also reports of torching of houses of Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-Marxist) supporters at some places late by suspected Maoists.
