Nagaland Post reported sources claiming that the Assam Rifles (AR) team recovered five dead bodies reportedly that of Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) cadres from the disbanded Mukalimi camp in Zunheboto District on December 30. Four bodies were found buried inside the camp while the other one, suspected to have died of fatal injuries, was found in the nearby jungle. The discoveries were made after thousands of Sumi volunteers representing various Sumi villages, ended the three-day siege on Ghathashi camp (‘Zasibituo Battalion Headquarters’) of the NSCN-IM’s ‘Naga army’ at Mukalimi village, with a final push at 11.32am. The clash between Sumi volunteers and NSCN-IM started after cadres of the NSCN-IM molested two women missionaries on December 21 at Aghuyito near Zunheboto town and the outfit refused to hand over the culprits to District authorities. However, refuting reports of recovery of five bodies by Assam Rifles (AR) inside the Mukalimi camp, the NSCN-IM ‘convenor’ of Cease-Fire Monitoring Cell (CFMC) Kraibo Chawang said, “Let them bring out the dead bodies in public” and added that if at all there were any such dead bodies; NSCN-IM would not hide them as it would be a violation of human rights, reports Nagaland Post on December 31. He then claimed that only one NSCN-IM cadre sustained minor injury during the standoff and has been administered first aid. He added, “With mutual understanding with Delhi, conditionally we have left the camp. There is no victory on the other side”.

Fifteen people were killed and 119 were injured, five of them critically in the twin blasts which happened in quick succession a little after 7 pm, about 100 metres apart in the Dilsukhnagar (Hyderabad Urban District) on February 21, reports NDTV.com. Hyderabad Police sources said that the second bomb had been placed at exactly the same spot that an unexploded bomb was found during the Hyderabad twin blasts of August 25, 2007. The Times of India adds that, Union Minister of Home Affairs, Sushil Kumar Shinde seemed to reflect the principal assumption of the agencies about Indian Mujahideen (IM) being the chief suspects when he said the latest attack was similar to the 2007 serial attacks in the city. The suspicion is derived also from the testimony of the three alleged IM terrorists to Delhi Police in October 2012. Imran, Tabrez and Maqbool told the special cell that they had been assigned to do a recce of Dilsukhnagar and other communally sensitive areas in Hyderabad. Dilsukhnagar has been on the terrorists' radar for long, in 1999 when a bomb was planted near a Hanuman temple. The device was detected in time by Police. It has also been mentioned that Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) targeted Dilsukhnagar in the year 2002, planting a bomb near the Saibaba temple killing two persons. Further, top sources disclosed that the twin blasts bore the signature of the IM. First, the use of cycles to plant IEDs is known to be the modus operandi of the IM, according to Indian Express. A Police official stated, ‘’The IEDs were stuffed with shrapnels, nuts and bolts and pieces of steel which points to the fact that the perpetrators intended to cause maximum damage. The use of this material has been typical of IM. But the paste of the explosives appears to be a mixture of Pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) and ammonium nitrate but the analysis of NSG will confirm that,’’ PETN has been known to be used by Jammu and Kashmir (J&K)-based militants, particularly the Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HUJI). While evidence suggested the role of IM, the use of PETN turned confusing as it is mostly known to be used by J&K terror outfits. The British intelligence had warned India about a possible terrorist attack by IM. The alert led to a general nationwide alert on February 20, reports The Times of India. The British intelligence alert is believed to have been received by Indian agencies just as British Prime Minister David Cameron was about to land in Mumbai on February 18. The Andhra Pradesh Government has set up two special teams which will conduct an independent inquiry to assist the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in handling the case, reports NDTV. Moreover, Hindustan Times reported on February 22, that on February 13, Intelligence Bureau (IB) had issued another alert on the basis of United Jehad Council (UJC) meeting in Pakistan, where the militant groups were adamant on avenging the hanging of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorist Afzal Guru.

Seven Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) troopers were killed and 12 critically injured in an encounter with the Communist Party of India-(Maoist) cadres at Karmatiya forests of Latehar District of Jharkhand on January 7, reports The Times of India. Two Maoists were also killed, the Police said quoting villagers. Hundreds of Maoists ambushed 200-odd troopers patrolling the forest around 10.30am, in what is being seen as a possible retaliation to ‘Operation Anaconda-II’ in Saranda forests. In the gun-battle, which went on for more than eight hours, several Police personnel were critically injured, two of whom belong to Jharkhand Jaguar. The encounter ended around 8 pm. Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG), Palamu range, Praveen Singh confirmed the deaths. Six companies of CRPF and two of Jharkhand Jaguar were combing the Karmatiya jungles when the ambush took place. According to Jharkhand Police figures, a total of 24 persons were killed in Latehar in 2011 by the Maoists. The Indian Express, however, reported that one Jharkhand Jaguar Special Task Force Policeman was shot dead by Maoists and three CRPF troopers were missing. The Maoist group involved in the encounter is believed to have been headed by Arvind, an important leader thought to be holed up in the area for the past 25 days. The CRPF had been camping there since December 20, 2012, to try and capture him. The encounter, named ‘Operation Saamna’, involved about 220 CRPF and some Jharkhand Police personnel. Officials claimed at least four Maoists were killed, but no bodies have been recovered.

The Latehar SP said the civilians were killed while they were accompanying Police personnel. Around 300 CRPF and Jharkhand Jaguar personnel treaded deep into the Karmatiya jungles, about 250km from Ranchi as part of a combing operation when Maoists started indiscriminate firing from tree tops and hills. Over 600 Maoists, led by senior leaders, were present in the Latehar jungles and around 30 of them have been injured. CPI-Maoist central committee member Arvind was the leader behind the attacks, said Police sources. Many of the Maoists were dressed like SF personnel.

The Shillong Times reports that in a shocking incident relating to militancy and extortion, five coal labourers were reportedly shot dead by armed militants in the afternoon of May 20 in retaliation for the quarry owner’s failure to pay up extortion money on time in Nangalbibra region of South Garo Hills District. The armed group is said to have served demand notes on coal mine owners throughout Nangalbibra region in the month of April and amounts ranging from INR 500000 to INR 10 million has been demanded by the outfit. The militants came to the quarry campus and pushed the labourers to one corner before opening fire on them from their automatic rifles resulting in the death of five workers and injury to many more.

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres on October 17 detonated a cane bomb - a trademark Improvised Explosive Device (IED) used by them - to blow up a vehicle, killing all its seven occupants near Pathara village in Aurangabad District, reports The Times of India. The victims included Sushil Pandey, suspected Ranvir Sena (Militia of upper caste landowners) activist and husband of Zilla Parishad (district level local self-Government institution) member Usha Devi.
