In this context, combined parties of different forces were launched in Abujhmarh area to intercept and neutralise the Maoists. The forces were given the target of Kutul that is in the heart of Abujhmarh area and considered the capital of the Maoists,” he added.

A team of special task force (STF) and Saran Police arrested nine cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), including a woman ‘area commander’, on January 5, from Doriganj in Saran District, reports The Times of India. All of the arrested cadres were accused in the case for planting of explosives at the Ara-Chhapra Bridge on January 1. They had blasted the generator set used by the construction company engaged in the bridge construction work. Police have recovered three pamphlets of the Maoists from the construction site and three cane bombs were found fixed to three pillars of the under construction bridge. A team lead by STF Superintendent of Police (SP) Shivdeep Lande conducted raids at the adjoining area and first arrested Amit Manjhi, who is a Maoist cadre. Lande said, "On the basis of the tip off of Manjhi, the other accused were arrested from the adjoining area. The platoon which has been arrested used to work under Rambabu Ram, native of Motihari who is currently ‘zonal commander’ of North Bihar zone. They left the pamphlets to threaten the construction company for not paying levy to them. Mobile surveillance was very fruitful in this investigation." Sources said that generally the levy amount is 10% of the per phase of the project, in case of big bridge. He said, "All of the arrested persons were accused in several cases in North Bihar Districts. Khushboo Khatun a native of Chhapra was an ‘area commander’. We have found around 10 cases lodged against her in Muzaffarpur. The STF teams conducted raids in Saran, Gopalganj and Siwan to arrest the accused." The special intelligence group of STF arrested Pradhuman Puri, Sudarshan Ram, Amit Manjhi, Shahid Ansari and Khushboo Khatun from Gopalganj-Chhapra area. While in connection with the same case, Saran Police have arrested the other four accused from different parts of Saran. Satyaveer Singh, SP, Saran said, "Four of them were arrested by Saran Police. We have seized Maoist pamphlets, an SUV, mobile phone and arms from their possession. We have also beefed security to the construction company employees and at the construction site."
