According to reports, the Maoists were arrested In Tamil Nadu in June 2007 while imparting training to local unemployed youths in a forest range using looted arms of Koraput. According to police sources, these CPI-Maoist cadres were involved in looting the Koraput armoury on February 6, 2004. After confirming the arms belong to Koraput armoury, a court in Tamil Nadu shifted the case to Koraput SDJM jurisdiction for further legal proceedings. A police team from Koraput under the direction of Superintendent of Police Deepak Kumar rushed to Trichy jail in Tamil Nadu and took custody of the five Maoists on January 14. The five Maoists, including a top leader Sundar Murty (30), were produced before the Koraput SDJM court on January 15. The arrested Maoists were Velu Murugam (19), Palani Velu (26), Muthu Selvam (27) and Kartik (27) apart from Sundar Murty. Sources said 550 arms, including 25,000 live bullets, were looted from the district armoury and these were later distributed to various groups in Chhattisgarh, West Bengal, Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand and Bihar for imparting training to unemployed youths.

On March 31, the Union Government defended the anti-Maoist campaign Salwa Judum in the Supreme Court, reports Economic Times. Additional Solicitor-General Gopal Subramanian, appearing for the Union Government, supported the Chhattisgarh Government and said the petitioners’ claims of excesses during Salwa Judum were exaggerated. "The perception put forth by the petitioners is subject to much moderation," he said. He further argued, "When hundreds of people are killed by Naxalites [Maoists], the state has to do something to protect them." Separately, the Chhattisgarh Government counsel Manish Singhvi said that many of the allegations of excesses by Salwa Judum activists were found to be false upon inquiry.

The Hindu reports that the Supreme Court examining two petitions alleging that the Chattisgarh government was allegedly arming civilians involved in Salwa Judum movement to fight the naxalites (left-wing extremists), on March 31 remarked, "It is a question of law and order. You (state government) cannot give arms to somebody (a civilian) and allow him to kill. You will be an abettor of the offence under section 302 of the Indian Penal Code". The Bench comprising Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan and Justice Aftab Alam said a neutral agency should inquire and assess whether people had joined Salwa Judum camps on their own. The state government had earlier denied that Salwa Judum was a state-sponsored movement and said that action shall be taken if any Salwa Judum activist transgresses the confines of the law.

The Chhattisgarh Government has reportedly told the Supreme Court that the left-wing extremist problem has reached alarming proportions in the State and it is not possible to end the Salwa Judum, a people’s resistance movement to counter the Maoists. Economic Times quoting from an affidavit filed by the State Government in the apex court reported, "They (Naxals) destroyed 55 primary school buildings, eight panchayat bhawans (buildings of village level self-government institutions), nine ashram bhawans (buildings of religious institutions), nine hostels, eight anganwadi centres, 18 other buildings in the last three years. There were also cases of destruction of electric towers resulting in blackouts in many parts of the Naxal-affected regions". The affidavit said that the people of Chhattisgarh, due to the fear of the Maoists, were living in the camps. "The state cannot stifle any people’s initiative to resist a patently illegal organisation and its activities", the affidavit said.

On April 15, the Union Government in a statement in the Supreme Court strongly opposed the disbanding of the anti-Maoist Salwa Judum movement in Chhattisgarh. The Additional Solicitor-General Gopal Subramanium told the apex court, “To assume that the Salwa Judum was an army of people with weapons and asking for it to be disbanded will be no more than asking for these people to be pushed out to be killed (by the Naxalites).” "Salwa Judum, activists of which are designated as special police officers, is consciously funded by the Centre to save the tribals, who were displaced from the jungles by Naxalites, and protect people from being killed by Naxalites", Subramaniam added. He further said, “Situation is of considerable concern both to the Centre and state. Policemen are not ready to step into the forests. Though 17,000 posts are sanctioned for anti-naxal force, the state government is finding it very difficult to fill them. That is why the self-defence force was organised to save people from becoming sitting ducks for the Naxals.” He, however, said that the Government has no objection to the National Human Rights Commission examining individual human rights violation cases by the Salwa Judum activists.

A fast track court on June 9 sentenced two Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres, Surendra Manjhi and Saryu Manjhi, to death in connection with the attack on the Chhabilapur Police station in Nalanda district on August 11, 2005, reports PTI. Two persons including a constable and a person lodged in the lock-were killed in that attack.

On September 19, the Supreme Court asked the Chhattisgarh government to implement some of the recommendations of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), which went into the activities of the Salwa Judum (anti-maoist vigilante movement) set up by the State to tackle left-wing extremism, reports The Hindu. The NHRC had been asked by the Supreme Court to probe the allegations that the Salwa Judum was committing atrocities on innocent people. A Bench comprising Chief Justice K.G. Balakrishnan and Justices P. Sathasivam and J.M. Panchal told senior counsel K.K. Venugopal, appearing for Chhattisgarh, that the commission “has done a meticulous work. It has given a series of recommendations. It is very painful to read the report. It says there is arson and looting, people are armed and they [Salwa Judum] are committing serious offences. It says people who are subjected to serious problems are still afraid of coming out.” The Chief Justice observed, “When somebody [Salwa judum] is given arms, he claims to be a pseudo police. Once he is given arms, he will commit an offence though he has no right to do any such act. Some remedial measures have been suggested in the report and the State may consider implementing them. Whatever is urgently required to be done, do it.” Mr. Venugopal assured the court that the government would implement the recommendations “which are of immediate concern.”

The Supreme Court-appointed National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) investigation into Salwa Judum (anti-Maoist civilian vigilante programme) in Chhattisgarh has justified the movement as a "spontaneous revolt of the tribals against years of atrocities and harassment suffered by them at the hands of Naxalites (left-wing extremists)", reports Economic Times. The NHRC report, submitted to the apex court also dismisses most of the allegations of human rights abuses made by the petitioners in the apex court, including widely reported use of minors by Salwa Judum. The report blames the Naxalites for human rights abuses and sees action by Salwa Judum activists from the prism of necessary retaliation. The report further says that 15 years after Jan Jagran Abhiyan, an earlier attempt to deal with Naxalites, "local tribals once again mustered courage to stand up to the Naxalites, which only goes to show their sense of desperation."

On October 16, the Crime Branch of Orissa Police confirmed that the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) had killed Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Lakshmanananda Saraswati in the Kandhamal district on August 23 by involving some local armed groups, reports The Hindu. According to the report, the decision to eliminate the VHP leader was taken by the Central Committee of the CPI-Maoist about seven months ago, and a group of about six hardcore extremists killed the VHP leader at the Jalespata ashram (hermitage) in Kandhamal. The extremists who committed the crime were armed with automatic weapons, including AK-47 rifles, Police sources said. The local youths also took part in the crime and stood guard around the ashram when the Maoists executed their plan. The youths belonged to about four different groups from nearby villages. Three youths belonging to the local groups have been arrested so far. On October 16, they were produced before a court at Baliguda in Kandhamal. The court remanded them to judicial custody.
