Suspected Naxalites (left-wing extremists) abducted 10 employees, including an engineer, of the HINDALCO Industries Limited from the company’s Kujam mines area of Bishunpur block in the Gumla District, reports Times of India. A squad of 20-30 armed extremists descended on the bauxite reserve on Netarhat-Kujam road in the morning of August 17 and kidnapped engineer Vijay Kumar, a resident of Jodhpur (Rajasthan), three supervisors, five contractors and a driver. 12 hours later, around 9pm (IST), they returned to set ablaze 12 heavy equipment and vehicles on the mine premises. The South Chhotanagpur Deputy Inspector-General of Police (DIG), R.K. Mallick, said that though the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) was not involved in the abduction, it could be the handiwork of some new extremist faction which was trying to make its presence felt in the area. “We have learnt that the HINDALCO employees are safe and are trying to locate them,” he added. The Gumla Deputy Commissioner Rahul Sharma, too, suspected the involvement of a breakaway Maoist faction. “We are very close to finding out where the rebels are keeping the HINDALCO men. Some employees called up their family members to say they were still safe. We will mount pressure on the rebel group to ensure their safe release,” Sharma said.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) filed a chargesheet in Dr P.C.

The money was handed over to an ULFA cadre, Tapan Rai, near the Lokapriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport on the same day. The abductors had demanded INR 2100 million for the release of the senior Food Corporation of India official. Amongst the 17 persons charge-sheeted, top ranking leader and ‘commander’ of the ‘709 battalion’ of the ULFA, Hira Sarania, has been named as the prime conspirator. Rabiram Basumatary, the driver of FCI Executive Director Dr. P.C. Ram, was also named as one of the conspirators, though his name along with six others did not feature in the chargesheet as they had died during the course of the investigation. All the accused have been charge sheeted under Sections 120(b) (criminal conspiracy) and 364(a) (abduction for ransom) of the Indian Penal Code. Six Police officials who were arrested earlier in this connection have, however, been acquitted. Dr Ram, who was abducted from near his Sreenagar residence on April 17, remained in the abductor’s custody till his death in a cross-fire between Police and his abductors on July 12, 2007.

All 10 abducted employees of the HINDALCO Industries Limited were released from captivity after 52 hours from the Belwari forest under Mahuadarn Police station in the Latehar District in the afternoon of August 19. Gumla SP Upendra Kumar said that the SFs had intensified combing operations in the dense forests of the region following abduction of the employees by the Naxalites (left-wing extremists) on August 17, adding, when the SFs encircled the Belwari forest, the kidnappers opened fire which was retaliated by the SFs. But realising that they had been encircled in from all sides, the Naxalites let the captives off and disappeared deep into the forest, he added. Sources said the CPI-Maoist ‘zonal commander’ Sanjay Yadav, who had parted ways with the outfit along with his trusted lieutenants and a cache of sophisticated arms two months ago, is believed to have carried out the abduction. Intelligence sources had earlier claimed that Sanjay, who was a ‘platoon commander’ of the People's Liberation Guerrilla Army of the CPI-Maoist, quit due to his growing differences with ‘zonal commander’ Nakul Yadav. Sources added that Sanjay and his group of around 25 members had been running his own group and demand for levy is believed to be the primary reason behind the extremists striking in the mining block of the State.

Inspector Francis Induwar was abducted when he had gone to a local market at around 5.30pm (IST) to make house-hold purchases.

Suspected militants of Ranjan Daimary faction of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) abducted P. Krishna Rao, a project manager of Gayatri-East Coast Insulation (Gayatri ECI), at gunpoint from Karigaon Joypur in Kokrajhar District on October 17, according to Telegraph. Rao was supervising work on the East-West corridor project at Karigaon Joypur in Kokrajhar when he was abducted by five motor-cycle-borne youths. The militants also fired three rounds in the air when the workers at the construction site tried to resist them. The abductors escaped north along National Highway 31C that leads to the Bhutan border through the Ripu-Chirang forest. Rao, who hails from Krishna District in Andhra Pradesh, is a diabetes patient with high blood pressure. He has been living at Kajalgaon in Chirang with his wife and two children for the past three years. In July last year, three officials, including an engineer, a contractor and a mason of the company, were abducted. They were, however, released after the company reportedly paid the ransom amount demanded by a militant group. Gayatri ECI (JV) has undertaken the National Highways Authority of India project for construction of a four-lane highway from Kachugaon in Kokrajhar to Rakhaldubi in Bongaigaon District, covering 63 kilometres. “We are yet to decide our next course of action. A decision will be taken tomorrow. The higher authorities in Delhi have been apprised of the incident,” the deputy general manager of the Gayatri ECI (JV), S.N. Raju, told over phone. The Superintendent of Police, Kokrajhar, P.K. Dutta, said an operation by a joint team of Police, Army and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) was being carried out to rescue P. Krishna Rao.

So far, we do not have any clue about my husband. We suspect that some militants could be holding him for ransom," Dhaniya Devi said.

Telegraph reports that the Communist party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres killed a deputy forest ranger after abducting him in the night of November 27 from Deobhog in Raipur District. According to Police sources, the victim had been identified as Gokul Tandi, who was posted in Indagaon forest range of Deobhog development block. Around 11.30pm (IST) on November 27, he received a phone call that a group was illegally cutting trees in the forests. Tandi, along with four forest guards, started for the spot. “As they entered the forests, about 12-15 armed Maoists intercepted them and took them into custody,” Deobhog Police Officer T.R. Nagwanshi said. They released the guards after threatening not to inform the Police and took the official into dense forest. Local villagers, Nagwanshi said, in the morning of November 28 discovered the body in the forest and informed the Police. Since the Police feared ambush, a team of forest employees and villagers were sent to the spot to bring the body. The body bore severe assault mark, as the insurgents brutally bashed the forest official with guns and lathis till he succumbed to his injuries. No bullet mark was found, he added.
