A Ranchi court in Jharkhand on May 4, granted bail to Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) top cadre Kundan Pahan, in connection with a 2009 encounter between Security Forces (SFs) and CPI-Maoist cadres at Lali village in Namkum, citing lack of evidence against the surrendered rebel, reports The Pioneer. The court of Justice SK Singh, after listening to statements of nine witnesses from the prosecution and four witnesses from defendants, decided to grant bail to Pahan in the case as there was lack of evidence proving his involvement in the encounter. Pahan, however, will continue to serve imprisonment for other cases, in which he was found guilty. One of the most wanted rebels in Jharkhand for nearly two decades, Pahan faces charges in at least 128 cases, including beheading of Special Branch officer Francis Induwar and assassination of former minister Ramesh Singh Munda. He is also accused of looting INR 55 million from a private bank on National Highway 33. Police had named Pahan and seven others in the 2009 encounter at Lali village under Namkum police station in Ranchi. The other seven have already been granted bail in the case. Pahan officially surrendered under the Maoist surrender cum rehabilitation scheme of the State Government on May 15, 2017 at the State police headquarters in Ranchi.

Earlier, the amount sanctioned for development of Adivasis was used to build runways and elevators. Now, this amount will be rightly used for the development of the Adivasis and also for social welfare."

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) have claimed responsibility for the May 1 blast, set off by an Improvised Explosive Device (IED), in Kurkheda Tehsil (revenue unit) in Gadchiroli District of Maharashtra that had killed 15 Security Force (SF) personnel and their driver, reports The Indian Express on May 18. A pamphlet, issued by western sub-zonal bureau of CPI-Maoist recently, claimed that the blast was carried out to avenge the “police atrocities” in last year’s Kasnasur ambush in which 40 Maoist cadres were killed in the incident. It also referred to the April 27 “fake” encounter of senior Maoist cadre Ramco Narote. Narote, a member of Gadchiroli’s divisional committee of CPI-Maoist, and her accomplice Shilpa Durva were killed in what the Police claimed to be a regular encounter near Gundurwahi village in Bhamragarh tehsil. The pamphlet also said that the government has put many “pro-people” and “intellectual leaders” in jail in the name of “urban Naxalism”. “The Brahminical, fascist government, led by Devendra Fadnavis, is milking Gadchiroli’s natural resources, like iron ore, after coming to power. When people oppose it, the police oppress them. Officials and police are creating hurdles in the way of tribals taking benefit of the PESA provisions,” the pamphlet reads. It adds “we will continue to oppose them tooth and nail”. The pamphlet also called upon people to observe a bandh (general shutdown strike) on May 19 called by the Naxals [Left Wing Extremists, LWEs] to protest against the April 27 encounter.

Earlier, photographs of Gurupalli villagers making a bonfire of Maoist banners were circulated by the Police on social media.

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres set ablaze two ‘jungle depots’, a road roller, blocking several internal roads, shutting markets, disrupting services of Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) buses, and also pasted banners and posters about the ‘bandh’ on May 19, in Gadchiroli District of Maharashtra on May 19, reports The Times of India. The bandh had been called to protest the alleged ‘fake encounter’ killings of their Divisional Committee Member (DVCM) Ramko Narote and cadre Shilpa Dhurva on April 27 at Gundurwahi by C-60 commandos during an operation. In the banners and posters, the Maoists demanded clarification from the Police on the killings. Apart from Police, the Maoists also issued threats to the foresters, urging villagers to resist their work of cutting trees and bamboo, as “they are owned by the tribals”. The Maoists put up a number of banners in the early hours on May 19, throwing challenge to the Police stationed merely four kilometres away at Purada Police Station. The Maoists then headed towards the forest near Warbi (Chirpi), around seven kilometres away, where they set wood at the jungle depot on fire. The depot belonged to the Forest Labourers’ Co-operative Society, where wood from adjoining forests of Yedapar and Kurundi was collected. The Maoists blocked the road between Karamphata and Gurupalli in Etapalli taluka (revenue sub-division) by tying a banner across the road and also laying felled trees on the road. One side of the banner was tied to a vehicle which the Maoists had set ablaze some days ago. Police claimed this road blockade was later removed by villagers so vehicles could pass. Earlier in the morning, State Transport buses had returned to Etapalli depot from this place, but later resumed services till Alapalli. The Maoists later set ablaze a road roller at Gurupalli Road. The roller was engaged in road construction works. A jungle depot near Gurupalli was also set on fire.

The depleted armoury of the division has big weapons such AK 47s, Self-Loaded Rifles (SLRs) and INSAS (Indian Small Arms System) assault rifles, numbering six, nine and eight respectively, the Maoist documents, copies of which are in possession of The Asian Age, disclosed. The rest are small weapons like 303 rifles, nine mm pistols, revolvers and country-made guns. “This clearly indicates that Darbha Division has become very weak militarily.

According to him, pressure being mounted on Maoists in the red corridors in India in recent times had led to disruption of supply of sophisticated weapons and ammunitions to Maoists in Bastar.
