The Hindu reports that the team of 49 STF men which got ambushed in Polampalli on April 11, had reportedly not informed senior police officers based in Bastar and Sukma before embarking on an operation which eventually proved “suicidal.” Bastar range Inspector General (IG) of Police, S.R. Kalluri was on leave and had gone out of Chhattisgarh because of a death in his family. Speaking to The Hindu on the way back to Bastar after his leave was cancelled, Kalluri maintained that it was “a standalone STF operation” without any participation of the District police or the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF). “Platoon Commander Shankara Rao had called Sub Divisional Police Officer Dornapal that night, who asked him to speak to the SP. The SP did not have any discussion with Shankara Rao before he left for the operation,” claimed Kalluri. Additional Director General of Police, R.K.Vij who is in charge of the STF, however said that there was “some discussion” between Sukma SP D. Srawan and Shankara Rao before the operation. “But there will be an inquiry into this and we will look into it,” Mr.Vij added. Further, speaking to a local TV channel at a Jagdalpur hospital, Ranjeet Kumar, a trooper who was wounded in the encounter, said, “We were attacked thrice even after running for over two kilometres. They [Maoists] must have been more than 400 and the ambush was spread over three kilometres.”

With the recent success in getting Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres to surrender (671 in 2014), various State Governments are planning to advertise their surrender schemes through BBC radio as that's the service that Maoist cadres tune in to, reports The Times of India on April 13. Central security establishment sources said Odisha had already put the plan in process and may soon advertise its surrender policy for Maoists through BBC radio. Sources said most Maoist cadres were completely unaware of any surrender policy run by the government as they operated from remote corners of the country where no communication except short wave radio reached. "Cadres are suspicious of All India Radio (AIR) as it's government owned. BBC radio over the years has done reporting from the Maoist core area in Chhattisgarh. For several years, they had a reporter in Bastar. The channel aired views from both sides of the divide. Thus, Maoists trust BBC more. Both in Chhattisgarh and Odisha, Maoist cadres listen to BBC," said a security establishment officer.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres blew up an Anti-Landmine Vehicle of the Chhattisgarh Police, killing five personnel in Dantewada district on April 13, reports The Hindu. “Maoists targeted an Anti-Landmine Vehicle which was on a search operation near Khudiyapara village of Dantewada around 2.30 p.m. on Monday. The vehicle was carrying 12 jawans [troopers] of the CAF (Chhattisgarh Armed Force) and the district police, including the driver. Dantewada SP reached the spot immediately after the encounter and rushed the injured jawans to Kirandul hospital. However, four jawans died in the hospital,” said a statement issued by the Chhattisgarh police headquarters in Raipur. Another jawan succumbed to injuries while being taken to Jagdalpur for treatment, taking the toll to five. Seven jawans were injured, an officer posted in Bastar said. The Times of India reports that Dantewada District Superintendent of Police (SP) Kamal Lochan Kashyap said, "Guerrillas triggered a powerful blast near a culvert, targeting the mine-protected vehicle. Rebels used 100 kg of explosives. Magnitude of explosion was so intense that the 50-tonne anti-landmine vehicle was tossed in the air and fell upside down." The blast left an 18-foot deep crater on the ground and rifles, guns and explosives lay strewn around. It seemed the trap was laid afresh as connecting wire that connected explosives at a distance of 150 metres looked new. "After the blast, Maoists resorted to indiscriminate firing to inflict heavy casualties on security forces," he said. Explosions and subsequent gunshots alerted security forces at nearby Cholnar camp, who rushed to the site.

Apart from reviewing the preparedness of the security forces involved in anti-Naxal operations, the NSA will also look into the aspect of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) not being followed by the security personnel.

A press release from Sukhdev Konde, the secretary of the North Bastar Divisional Committee of the CPI-Maoist, termed the strike on the Border Security Force (BSF) camp on April 12 in Chhote Betiya village of Kanker District as an “audacious attack.” “The attack was in response to the government’s plan to put up a carpet of camps across Bastar. Sixteen new camps have come up in Bastar in the last six months. But the main aim of this plan is to snatch water, land and forests from the tribals,” said Konde while admitting that Maoist leader Dasmen Salam alias Vikas was killed in the attack which also resulted in the death of a BSF head constable.

A Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadre, who had surrendered soon after the April 11 gun battle between Special Task Force (STF) and Maoists at Pidmal village in Sukma District, on April 21 claimed that 35 Maoists were killed and 15 injured in the retaliatory gun-battle, reports The Times of India. Janmilitia Commander of CPI-Maoist Sori Rama alias Kanna Karigundam said in a statement to Police that the dead Maoists included battalion ‘deputy commander’ Situ and Konta ‘area committee secretary’ Arjun. The duo was among the three seniors who planned the attack. Sori's job was to patrol between Pidmal and Dabbakonta camps along with seven other members. "There were around 250 Maoists including 20-25 women comrades," he added. Sori said that Maoist ‘commander’ Nagesh, who was among leaders of the operation, was heard saying that 35 comrades were killed and it was a big loss. Sori added that Nagesh had also mentioned that this information shouldn't be leaked before Police, public or government. A day earlier, Maoists, through a press statement, condemned Police's claim of killing more than 20 rebels. South Bastar divisional committee of the rebels had taken responsibility of the attack. "Police officers had to run for their lives for more than 10km till Kankerlanka," the release stated. Additional Director General (ADG) (anti-Maoist operation) RK Vij said, "Sori voluntarily surrendered before police soon after the attack. He told police that he was terrified after seeing so many deaths and the risk he carried to his life, which drove him to escape the Maoist movement. He surrendered without any weapons."

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) warned lower rung Policemen working in Bastar region of Chhattisgarh to leave their jobs or “get killed at the hands of People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) guerrillas,” reports The Hindu on April 28. In a press statement issued by Madhavi, secretary of the West Bastar Divisional Committee of the Maoists, the CPI-Maoist took responsibility for the killing of Constable Bira Basant, who was abducted on April 7 and found dead two weeks later in Bijapur District. Blaming the State government and the Bijapur Police for the death of Bira, the Maoist leader claimed that the District Police did not initiate a dialogue for his release. “Instead, the police pressured locals and schoolchildren to organise protest rallies against us. Our party’s policy does not allow us to kill unarmed policemen. We have freed many jawans, who did not carry weapons. However, we cannot spare those who knowingly take part in inflicting atrocities on the people. Bira was one such policeman,” said Madhavi. “Bira’s killing should serve as a warning to all local and lower rung policemen working in Bastar. Stop fighting for corporates who are here to snatch tribal land. Take up any other job other than policing if you want to stay in Bastar. Otherwise be ready to die at the hands of the PLGA,” warned the Maoist leader.
