The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) extremists are forcibly recruiting minors from the large forested areas of Chhattisgarh, police officials told IANS. On May 6, Inspector General of Police Girdhari Nayak said, "Rebels are conducting a massive drive for child soldiers in their forested hideouts in Chhattisgarh’s Bastar region, which is close to Andhra Pradesh."

Rebels are carrying away children without their parents’ consent and are training them to handle even sophisticated weapons and use them for attacks on civilians and police installations," he added. He further said, "We have reports that insurgents have been forcibly taking away tribal boys and girls from schools in poverty-stricken hamlets of the Bastar region." Police officials further said that the recruitment is intended for filling up a child unit - Krantikari Adivasi Balak Sangh - a banned frontal organisation of the CPI-Maoist in Chhattisgarh.
