"I am happy with outcomes of antiNaxalite operations in Jharkhand. The meeting mainly discussed plans for better interstate coordination and better intelligence network. For example, we have faced problems in trijunction bordering areas (where borders of three states merged).

Briefing the media, Bokaro Superintendent of Police (SP) Y.S. Ramesh said the duo had plans to attack employees and damage machines of Dilip Buildicon, the firm that has been assigned the INR 4.1 billion project aimed at converting the 80 kilometres RamgarhBokaro stretch into four lanes. But following a tipoff, a Police team arrested the rebels near Dilip Buildcon's camp office at Beltand before they could execute their plans. "Maoists wrote a letter to MS Dilip Buildicon in the second week of this month, demanding 10 per cent of the project cost as levy. The mail, carrying the letterhead of North Chhotanagpur Maoist Committee, also threatened the firm officials of dire consequences if they failed to pay up. Subsequently, we had beefed up security at its camp office. But, yesterday, we received a tipoff about the Maoists' plan to damage machineries being used in the construction and attack the workers. Immediately, we laid a trap to nab them," the SP said. "The security men hid in bushes and pounced on the duo as they tried to go near the camp office. During interrogations, the duo admitted that they had come to attack the employees as the firm did not pay the levy," said an officer. Further investigations revealed that the Maoist squad, led by ‘area commander’ Santosh Mahto, served similar threat letters to the owners of three stone crushing units and the contractor engaged is building Narki Bridge in Gomia recently. Led by Dinesh Manjhi, a gang, also comprising Manga Manjhi, Dhaneshwar Manjhi, Babuchand Manjhi and the two arrested, has been collecting levy from firms, contractors and government engineers working in the area for quite some time now.
