Hindustan Times reports that at least six cadres of the Communist party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) were killed during an encounter with the Police at Tadgaon in Gadchiroli District on October 4.

But blood stains found at the place where the Maoists were holed up during the encounter indicated that at least six of them were either killed or seriously injured. “The injured (or dead) are suspected to have been removed by the fleeing Naxal group,” Jagtap said, adding that the combing of the area was in progress to track them down. He said there was no injury on the Police side as the information about the waiting Maoist ambush had been received in advance, enabling the Police to take proper guard during the encounter. The Police later recovered a 12-bore rifle, a claymore mine, eight detonators, two gelatin sticks, bundles of electrical wire (used to trigger mine blasts), and some literature and medicines, Jagtap said.

Police Sub-Inspector, Habil Bara, allegedly tried to commit suicide inside his Police Station while being interrogated in the night of October 12 for his alleged links with Shyam Mahto, an ‘area commander’ of the CPI-Maoist, in the Kuchai area of Seraikela-Kharsawan District, reported Telegraph. The Police had earlier in the day arrested two Maoists, identified as Feroj Singh Munda and Lakhan Sardar, from Kuchai. The Police had also seized a pair of whistles, rifle springs and Maoist literature from the two, who were on their way to hand them over to Mahto in Kuchai. During their interrogation, the duo had alleged that Habil Bara had links with Shyam Mahto and he was known to the other Maoists also. Bara was also privy to various “underhand dealings” with them, the duo added. The Seraikela-Kharsawan District Superintendent of Police (SP) Abhishek said, “When we summoned the sub-inspector to the Police station and began interrogating him about his (Maoist) links, he fell sick suddenly. Later, he had to be admitted to hospital,” Abhishek said, refusing to confirm or deny that it was a suicide attempt. The SP admitted the allegation that Bara, a resident of Roshanpur village in Sisai in Gumla, used to help the Maoists of Kuchai was serious. “Though initial reports suggest that Bara used to extend tacit support to Naxalites, we do not have any material evidence against him. Therefore, we will have to probe further,” the SP added.

The Hindu reports that the military wing of the Maoist-backed People's Committee against Police Atrocity (PCPA) - Sidhu Kanu Gana Militia - vandalised property belonging to the State Government in two separate incidents in West Midnapore District late on October 29 and October 30. A group of armed men attacked the Silda Range Office in the Binpur block late on October 29 and ransacked and set ablaze six buildings. The group assaulted the officer-in-charge and looted money. It left behind posters demanding the unconditional release of PCPA convener Chhatradhar Mahato and other leaders of the outfit. In another incident on October 30, a group ransacked the Panchayat (village level local self government institution) office at Makli in the Goaltore area and later set it ablaze. Superintendent of Police Manoj Kumar Verma said the PCPA was behind both attacks and that they were being investigated. "The Police had been claiming that the PCPA is an offshoot of the Maoists and was involved in all kinds of violent activities. But only after they launched the so-called armed wing was it proved that there is no difference between the Maoists and the PCPA supporters," Verma said.

The Patna Police arrested Subodh Singh, who is wanted in connection with the recovery of a haul of explosives besides rifles and cartridges from Patna and Gaya in Bihar and Ranchi, Hazaribgah and Bokaro in Jharkhand during successive raids earlier this month. Patna Senior Superintendent of Police Vineet Vinayak said on November 14 that Subodh, son of Rabindra Singh, and his wife were arrested from a house at Ramnagari under Rajeev Nagar Police station in the night of November 13. A pistol, 650 rounds of cartridges, SIM cards, fake driving licences, PAN and identity cards and Naxalite literature were seized from the place. Subodh later led the Police to a house in F sector under Kankerbagh Police Station from where three automatic rifles, 720 live cartridges, CDs and Maoist literature were seized. The rifles were kept in the cabinet of a book shelf, Vinayak said. Quoting neighbours, the SSP said the house had been taken on rent by one Prince alias Rakesh Ranjan for the last four years. Subodh, in collusion with Prince, used to stock the explosives, arms and ammunition there and transport the stuff as and when demanded by the Naxalites, he said. On the basis of confessions made by Subodh, Police also seized six vehicles of a travel agency owned by Prabhat Singh, a resident of road number 11 of Ashok Nagar. From Prabhat's house, Police seized another Ambassador car, which had in its boot a special cavity. 275 cartridges of different makes were recovered from that cavity, Vinayak said. Police have also seized five VIP beacon lights, nameplates of some senior officials of the income-tax department, CDs and Maoist literature from Prabhat's house. Prabhat, who used to supply vehicles to ferry Maoists and explosives to various places, the SSP said, adding that Police were on the lookout for Prince and Prabhat. Telegraph adds that Police also arrested three associates of Subodh for allegedly supplying arms to Maoists. Over 250 cartridges made in China and Pakistan was found concealed under the seat of an Ambassador car seized from Subodh’s transport agency. Some of the seizures in Patna, Gaya and Bokaro in the past week have thrown up Chinese hand-grenades that look like “peeled coconuts”. The Police said these are a “hot favourite” with the Maoists. The Maoists were also said to be “in possession” of hundreds of pistols made in China and even Pakistan, the Police added. Pistols of Pakistani make and magazines were recovered from two suspected Maoists picked up recently from Khagaria District in Bihar. Guns made in Bihar’s Munger, a centre of illegal arms factories for three decades, are also suspected to have reached Maoists.

In addition, Police on November 14 neutralised a base camp of the Maoists at Sarjamurmu forest located on the border of Angara and Namkum Police Stations in Ranchi District. The Maoists had, however, deserted the camp two days ago. The Police recovered some camouflaged fatigues, medicine packets, Maoist literature, books on jungle warfare tactics and a few maps from the camp located on a hillock about 40 metres in height. Earlier in the evening of November 13, the Police had arrested two women Maoists and a sympathizer who supplied provisions to the insurgents at their base camp. The supplier, Goverdhan Munda, was coming from the base camp along with the two women cadres, Sulochana Munda and Sangeeta Munda, when they were arrested. The three persons, who were on their way to Angara, told the Police that about 80 Maoists stayed at the base camp. Ranchi Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Praveen Kumar said,” Sulochana Munda is the wife of Sanjay Pramanik alias Doctorji, the third-in-command of Platoon-39 of the CPI-Maoist. On the basis of revelations made by the arrested persons, the Police raided the base camp on Saturday." He added that Pramanik, who led a local guerrilla squad, a sub-group of Platoon-39, was wanted in connection with several high-profile cases executed by the CPI-Maoist in the past couple of years. "Pramanik earned the sobriquet of Doctorji since he was a para-medical staff and had been running a clinic at Bundu for the past two-and-a-half year. Later, he became an active member of the guerrilla squad," the SSP said. The SSP said that the arrested women cadres have given vital information to the Police about the whereabouts of the members of the guerrilla squad, adding, "We hope to make more arrests soon." Talking about the whereabouts of guerrilla squad leader Kundan Pahan, the SSP said that he (Pahan) managed to escape under the cover of darkness following a fierce encounter with the Police at Angara on October 25.

The SFs arrested 15 persons from a house in Jangdibalsa of Bandhugaon block bordering Narayanpatna on November 28. Superintendent of Police (SP) Deepak Kumar Chouhan on November 29 said out of the arrested persons five were suspected to be hardcore Maoist cadres. Chouhan said that while most of the arrested persons were localites, two of them -- Tapan Mishra and Padmanav Sahu -- were from outside the District. According to him, the duo was staying at the Maoist camp that was raided. The SFs had acted on specific intelligence to conduct the raid. While most persons related to the camp had escaped, Police had managed to detain some, he said. Police had released the innocent villagers after preliminary enquiry and interrogation. 15 persons with Maoist links were arrested. The SP also displayed the articles and arms of Maoists seized during the raid. During the raid, 68 pairs of Maoist uniforms, six SMC guns, five SBBL guns, approximately six kilograms of gun powder, 10 electrical detonators, camera flash, wire, a wireless communication set, four rounds of ball ammunitions, banners, posters and literatures were seized. The SP said the evidences found from the spot linked Chasi Mulai Adivasi Sangh (CMAS) with the Maoists. Some of the arrested persons were also part of the CMAS. The seizure of SMC guns from the Maoist camp was a cause of concern as these guns are used for mass destruction, Chouhan added.

the CPI-Maoist has announced Police Pratirodh Divas (Police Resistance Day) on December 27 and 28 in protest against the death of villagers in a blast that was targeted at Security Force personnel in Amjore village, Patamda, last month. The Maoists on December 15 launched a poster campaign at Nimdih and Patamda in adjoining Seraikela-Kharsawan and East Singhbhum Districts, accusing the Police and Central reserve Police Force (CRPF) of forcing villagers to run errands for them. The posters also demanded INR 10 lakh compensation for the next of kin of the deceased, besides an unconditional public apology. As reported earlier, on November 27, the Maoists had planted a pressure bomb under the felled trunk of a tree in Amjore to blow up a security convoy. But a team of CRPF personnel and Policemen — returning to their Jamshedpur base camp after the first phase of election in Patamda — forced a group of villagers to clear the road. As soon as they lifted the tree trunk, the IED went off, killing three. The same day East Singhbhum Superintendent of Police Naveen Kumar Singh declared a compensation of INR 1 lakh and Government job for the kin of the deceased. Cheques were handed over the next day while Singh said job would be provided at the earliest. Intelligence sources said that by demanding 10 times the compensation given by the administration, the Maoists were trying to gain foothold in pockets where it had no or little influence. The Seraikela-Kharsawan Superintendent of Police Abhishek said: “We are keeping close watch. No rebel programme will be allowed in Seraikela-Kharsawan.”

The extremists were believed to have planted the landmine beneath a culvert to restrict the force movement on combing operation, continuing for two days following Maoists attack at Relhatur, a nearby village, on December 19. The Maoists reportedly had damaged three Government buildings, including the local panchayat (village level local self Government situation) office, at Relhatur. Around 100 armed Maoists stormed into Relhatur village and blew up the panchayat office and its adjoining panchayat store building. An eyewitness said the Maoists were shouting anti-Government slogans, daring villagers to call the Police. The extremists also pasted hand written posters at nearby villages of Rengeda and Topadih. The people of Mahupada, Jharbeda, Relhatur, Sanbalijore and Nangalkata village had earlier left their houses out of fear and staged a dharna (protest) before K Balang Police Station and NH No 215 demanding security. The villagers had returned only three days ago, after security camps were opened in their villages. The District administration had held a “civil action” programme at Relhatur on December 17 and announced several development programmes and appealed to villagers to cooperate with police to tackle the menace in their area. Superintendent of Police (Rourkela) Diptesh Patnaik said additional Police force with senior officers will be rushed to Relhatur and joint combing operation will be intensified.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres have started threatening gram pradhans (village heads) and chowkidars (guards) with dire consequences if any member of the CPI-Maoist outfit is arrested or if police raid their hideouts, reports Times of India. The Maoists through posters put up at several villages under Shikaripara block (administrative division) of Dumka District, have threatened that village heads and chowkidars would be killed under the above-mentioned circumstances for being Police informers. Maoist posters were seen at various places in the three villages of Haripur, Maluti and Pinargarhia, which are considered to be Maoist strongholds. The CP-Maoist move to declare punitive action against the village heads and chowkidars is being viewed here as its modus operandi to persuade them to convince the common villagers being in regular touch to refrain from being Police informers by holding them directly responsible in case of an arrest or any other move by Police against it.
