Illegal firearms were recovered from a BSNL telephone exchange in Tiljala on the eastern fringe of Kolkata late in the night of January 4. Acting on a tip-off, a special team of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) raided the exchange and seized seven rifles. The exchange was later sealed on January 5. "Four security guards, belonging to a private security agency, have been arrested," said Annuj Sharma, Special Inspector General of CID. According to a senior CID officer, the guards — Golam Ambia Sheikh, Sheikh Jahangir, Bapi Sheikh and Abdul Hossain Sheikh — are residents of Burdwan District. The security agency — Inter-State Security Agency — had started operating a few months ago at Garfa in south Kolkata. According to CID sources, Golam Ambia Sheikh is the kingpin of the racket. The accused used to sell illegal arms at the rate of INR 35,000 to 40,000. "The accused used to have fake licences prepared in Nagaland, Bhagalpur [Bihar] and Patna. After forging licences, they purchased firearms from the city and stored them in the BSNL exchange offices," an officer said. "The accused were produced in the Alipore court today. As per initial investigation, it seems the four are from the same family. They may have links with Maoists," an officer said. The incident has prompted the CID to crack down on private security agencies in Kolkata. "We have information that several of them deal in illegal arms," said a senior officer.

Two Maoists were arrested from Tirilpiri village under Bundu Police Station area, about 40 kilometres from Ranchi, on January 5. The Police recovered explosives, woollen clothes and Police uniforms from a cave in Raghoi Hill on the basis of information provided by the arrestees, a legal cell in-charge Kalicharan Munda and fellow cadres Krishna Mahto. Speaking to the media, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Praveen Kumar said Munda was responsible for killing four persons, including a minor girl, on August 28, 2009 at Bundu. "But Munda’s main job was to keep track of cases pending against extremists in different courts. He looked after the cases of rebels detained in Ranchi, Khunti and Chaibasa jails. It was he who decided how much was to be paid as legal expenses for each rebel in jail," Kumar said. Munda also supplied explosives, clothes and provisions to Maoist squads operating in the forests. The SSP said Munda was constantly in touch with the brother of Kundan Pahan, the custodian of levy collected from different sources. In order to protect his identity, Munda associated himself with a frontal organisation of the Maoists, Krantikari Kisan Committee (KKC), and regularly visited Ranchi, while Mahto used to collect levy from tractor drivers carrying sand from riverbanks.

Deogarh District Police recovered detonators, live ammunition, utensils and a sewing machine from Pindki forest under Riamal Police Station on January 10, reported Express Buzz. Security Forces have intensified combing operation in Heron, Hitam and Biryam areas. Although it is said that the place was used as a camp by the Maoists who have deserted it now, the recovery signifies their presence in the area as Maoists are not known to leave behind their belongings. Although there have been reports of Maoists having a free run in Laimura, Riamal, Ranigola, Gandam, Gangajal areas of the District, Police have been underplaying their presence. The District is directly connected through forest with Saranda forest across the border in Jharkhand via Gurundia in Sundargarh.

The Security Forces (SFs) recovered four improvised explosive devices (IEDs), each weighing about 70 kilograms, and one can bomb weighing 25kg from Dungri Pahadi near Serangtoli village under Namkum Police Station, barely 20km from Ranchi, the Capital of Jharkhand on June 5, according to Telegraph. All the bombs were defused, except one IED the forces chose to explode. The explosives were hidden by Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres in a cave in Dungri Pahadi. South Chotanagpur Director General of Police (DIG) R.K. Mallick said the bombs were very powerful. "The four IEDs collectively had the power to blow up a fully protected anti-landmine vehicle," he explained. While the 25kg bomb was kept in a can, the IEDs were kept in separate boxes made of inch-thick steel. The IEDs were also coated with carbon, thus making them safe from metal detectors when planted under a road or a bridge. The IEDs and the can bomb were covered with plastic and hidden in the cave.

Andhra Pradesh Police raided a Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) hideout at Shapur village near Gulbarga in Karnataka on June 13 and seized Police uniforms, an AK-47 assault rifle loaded with 20 rounds and three spare magazines, a carbine machine gun with 70 bullets and three magazines, meant for use by a Naxal action team, five ICOMs and a GPS tracker set. The raid was carried out on the information provided by Chandrasekhar Gorebale alias Sudhakara alias Tippanna alias Nantappa, a cadre of the Karnataka State Committee of the CPI-Maoist, who was arrested at Aija village of Mahabubnagar District in Andhra Pradesh in the morning of June 13. Gorebale was guarding the hideout which was to be used by an Action Committee detailed to carry out an attack on a politician or a Police officer either in Hyderabad or in the Telangana Districts. Sources said the weapons and the Police uniforms were supplied to Gorebale between February and April [2010] and were to be picked by an action committee constituted by the Maoist Central Committee to carry out an assassination in Hyderabad. The seizure of Police uniforms indicated the Maoist plot to carry out a major assassination in Hyderabad or possibly in one of the Telangana Districts, a senior officer said. There have been two instances of Maoist cadres wearing Police uniforms carrying out assassinations in Andhra Pradesh. Two former legislators, S. Chinna Reddy (Anantapur) and Budda Vengal Redy (Kurnool), were killed by Maoists in late 90s.
