After the arrests of senior Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres, Narmada and her husband Kiran, who held the reigns of the Maoist movement in the southern part of Gadchiroli which is also part of the Dandakaranya, speculation is rife in Gadchiroli District of Maharashtra regarding the successors of these two senior most cadres, reports The Times of India on September 6. Sources in the district stated that names of senior cadres like Tarakka alias Vimla Sidam and Giridhar alias Nangshu Tumreti are doing the rounds as the ones who had been handed over the baton to lead the rebel movement in the district in the place of Narmada and her husband Kiran. Tarakka is the wife of Maoists’ Politburo member Mallajula Venugopal aka Bhupathi who operates from Abujhmadh, on the Chhattisgarh-Maharashtra border. She, too, is a DVC of the Madh division. Tarakka commanded company number nine. There is a rumour of Tarakka having ascended to the position of Central Committee (CC) member. Sources said the name of Girdhar, too, surfaced as the one who had been assigned the role to lead the movement in the district. Girdhar, a resident of Gadchiroli, would be one of those rare local cadres who shall then in that case be at the helm of the movement in the district where allegations of Andhra Pradesh or Telangana natives preferred as leaders can be put to rest. A Dandakaranya Special Zonal Committee (DKSZC) member, Girdhar is also the commander of Maoist’s Company 4 which operated in the north and at the borders of Maharashtra-Madhya Pradesh’s Balaghat and Rajnandgaon in Chhattisgarh. Narmada and her husband Kiran were arrested from Sironcha in June this year for their alleged involvement in the Jamburkheda blast in Gadchiroli in which 15 Quick response team (QRT) personnel and one civilian driver were killed on May 1.

Security Forces (SFs) are bracing for increased attacks by Naxalites [Left Wing Extremists, LWEs] across the ‘Red Corridor’ in Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand, following intelligence inputs that 250 cadres have joined the ‘central military commission’ (CMC), the main fighting unit of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), headed by Nambala Keshava Rao aka Basavaraj, reports Livemint on September 10. The SFs are preparing for increased attacks between November 2019 and April 2020, according to the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA). “During this period, Naxalites launch their tactical counter offensive campaign, wherein they conduct the maximum strikes. The months prior to that, they usually recruit more people who are trained in the months between June and September," said a senior official of the UMHA requesting anonymity. The aim of the Naxalites to expand and train armed cadres across Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand has added to the concerns this year, according to intelligence officials. “Basavaraj is known to be aggressive and has, therefore, expanded the armed cadres because there were some specific attacks this year, such as those on Bharatiya Janata Party legislator Bhima Mandavi and the attack in Gadchiroli, which were all masterminded by him. Their training usually takes place in Abujhmaad in Chhattisgarh because that is their nerve center," said a security agency official based in Chhattisgarh, requesting anonymity.

A Pune police team, on September 10 morning, carried out a search and seizure exercise at the residence of Hany Babu MT, an English professor with Delhi University (DU), at his Sector-78 in Noida of Uttar Pradesh, in connection with the Elgar Parishad case, reports The Times of India. "We have searched Babu’s house for verifying his role after his name surfaced during the arrests of earlier accused," Pune Police commissioner K Venkatesham said. "We have seized some hard disks from his residence. We will get them forensically analysed before taking a call on further course of action. For now, we have not arrested him," he said. Police commissioner Venkatesham said, "Babu (45) was in touch with GN Saibaba, a DU professor convicted in March 2017 by a Gadchiroli court for Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) links, and was also in contact with all earlier arrested accused.” The Elgar Parishad held in Pune on December 31, 2017, was supported and funded by the CPI-Maoist, as part of a larger conspiracy to create social unrest, chaos and overthrow the Government. Alleged inflammatory speeches made at the Parishad contributed to the January 1, 2018, caste clashes at Koregaon Bhima near Pune, the Police claimed. Acting on a FIR lodged with the Vishrambaug Police on January 8, 2018, Police carried out simultaneous raids in Pune, Mumbai and other places on April 17, 2018. Further, during raids on June 6, 2018, the Police arrested activists Surendra Gadling, Shoma Sen and Mahesh Raut (all from Nagpur), Sudhir Dhawale (from Mumbai) and Rona Wilson (from New Delhi) for their alleged Maoist links and role in various unlawful activities. Gadling, also a lawyer, had represented Saibaba in the Gadchiroli case. In another raid on August 28, the police arrested veteran author-poet P Varavara Rao (from Hyderabad), lawyers Arun Ferreira and Vernon Gonsalves (from Thane and Mumbai, respectively) and Sudha Bharadwaj (from Faridabad) for their alleged Maoist links. All nine accused are lodged in Pune’s Yerawada central jail under judicial custody and the Police have so far filed two chargesheets in relation to the case which is now at a pre-trial stage.

A document recovered from an encounter spot on the border of Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh suggest that Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) have declared a new division comprising Kanha national park and Bhoramdeo wildlife sanctuary and named it as ‘KB’ Division, reports Hindustan Times on October 1. Kanha national park comes under Mandala and Balaghat Districts of Madhya Pradesh while Bhoramdeo comes under Kawardha in Kabirdham District of Chhattisgarh. Police believe that because of the dense forest and tough terrain the Maoists have declared this area as a division. ‘KB’ Division is now the second division under newly formed MMC zone (Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh), the first being GRB (Gondia, Rajnandgaon Balaghat) Division. The MMC zone was created by Maoists in 2016-17. It includes Districts situated at the tri-junction of three States and has seen the presence of ‘Vistaar Dalam’ (Expansion Squad), which has around 200-armed cadre in its ranks. The MMC is presently headed by a ‘central committee, CC’ member of CPI-Maoist Deepak Teltumbde. The document was among the Maoist literature found at a spot where Maoist Jamuna alias Sagan Bai (45) was killed in an encounter in February 28, 2019. Jamuna was allegedly involved in 1999 in the killing of Likhiram Kavre, a minister in the then Madhya Pradesh Government. Jamuna carried an award of INR two billion on her head.
