Birbal Oraon, the self-styled 'Deputy Section Commander' of the CPI-Maoist operating in Latehar, was arrested from a place in Latehar following a specific intelligence tip, said Latehar Police station officer-in-charge Ravikant Prasad, according to PTI. During interrogation, Oraon had confessed to blowing up of two buildings housing a school and a health centre in April 2009, Prasad said. Oraon was allegedly a part of a guerrilla squad that gunned down five Policemen on July 29. "Oraon also admitted that he had made an abortive attempt to target a police van when he fitted a 100-kg bomb under a culvert at Podialana on March 19, 2009," the Police officer said.

IANS reports that two Policemen were wounded in a two-hour encounter with the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres in the forest of Bundu block (administrative division), 45 kilometres from State capital Ranchi, Police said on October 4. An encounter took place at Madhukamdih village under Tamar Police Station in the Ranchi District on October 3 during a search operation launched to rescue the abducted Special Branch Inspector Francis Induwar, adds Times of India. Over 500 rounds of fire were exchanged between the two sides.

The Maoists have demanded release of their senior leaders, including Kobad Ghandy, as a condition for freeing the abducted intelligence official, local media reports said on October 4. Samarji, claiming to be ‘secretary’ of South Chhotanagpur Committee of Jharkhand, called local Hindi newspapers late in the night of October 3 and said, "The abducted Police official of the intelligence department is in our custody. He is safe. He will be released after the arrested leaders - Kobad Ghandy, Chhatradhar Mahto and Chandra Bhushan Yadav - are released." "Do not torture relatives of Kundan Pahan and other people otherwise we will abduct family members of government officials," he added. Police suspect the role of the Kundan Pahan group - active in the border areas of Ranchi, Khuti and Jamshedpur Districts - in the abduction of the intelligence official. As reported earlier, a group of four Maoists had abducted the Special Branch Inspector from Hembrom market in Khunti District on September 30.

Ranchi Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Praveen Kumar, said that people's support to the Maoists in the Bundu and Tamar areas of Ranchi District was emerging as one of the biggest stumbling blocks to anti-Naxalite (left wing extremists) operations. "Whether it is out of fear or otherwise, the support of villagers that the sub-zonal commander, Kundan Pahan, enjoys in the area, has made him almost invincible," he added. As a result, Pahan's intelligence network, comprising villagers, had become quite strong. "Whenever Police are about to conduct raids in the area, Pahan invariably gets wind of it," said the SSP. "We were close to the squad two days ago and an encounter took place in which two of their members were shot. But the bodies were taken away by the other members of the group," said Kumar. Pahan is the prime suspect in the killing of Francis Indwar and Police have launched a massive hunt for him.

The highest number of incidents of violence has taken place in the four worst-affected States - Chhattisgarh, Bihar, Jharkhand and Orissa - where 2,212 people lost their lives from January 2006 to August 2009.

In Chhattisgarh, 388 people were killed by the Naxalites in 715 incidents in 2006. While 369 lost their lives in 2007, another 242 were killed in 2008.

As part of the Government’s move to fight Maoists on a different plank, Jharkhand — which has been under President’s rule since January — has withdrawn over one lakh petty cases slapped on tribals under Forest Conservation Act. The move is aimed at winning the confidence of locals who provide massive support base for the Maoists. “The tribals are running from pillar to post in connection with these cases. So we reviewed the issue with the state government and advised it to withdraw the cases and they did it accordingly,” said a senior home ministry official, adding, “We hope that by withdrawing the cases, we would be able to win the goodwill of the tribals and they will help us in the fight against the Naxals.” He added, “… This is part of our strategy to deal with the Naxal problem by making the presence of governance felt at the ground level and thereby weeding out Maoist sympathisers who were drawn towards the extremists due to non-governance in several Naxal-affected states.” Sources said that other Naxal-affected States had also been asked to withdraw similar cases slapped against tribals. While some of the states had done so, others appeared to be willing to do so when the subject was broached with them during consultation meetings, they added.

Police Sub-Inspector, Habil Bara, allegedly tried to commit suicide inside his Police Station while being interrogated in the night of October 12 for his alleged links with Shyam Mahto, an ‘area commander’ of the CPI-Maoist, in the Kuchai area of Seraikela-Kharsawan District, reported Telegraph. The Police had earlier in the day arrested two Maoists, identified as Feroj Singh Munda and Lakhan Sardar, from Kuchai. The Police had also seized a pair of whistles, rifle springs and Maoist literature from the two, who were on their way to hand them over to Mahto in Kuchai. During their interrogation, the duo had alleged that Habil Bara had links with Shyam Mahto and he was known to the other Maoists also. Bara was also privy to various “underhand dealings” with them, the duo added. The Seraikela-Kharsawan District Superintendent of Police (SP) Abhishek said, “When we summoned the sub-inspector to the Police station and began interrogating him about his (Maoist) links, he fell sick suddenly. Later, he had to be admitted to hospital,” Abhishek said, refusing to confirm or deny that it was a suicide attempt. The SP admitted the allegation that Bara, a resident of Roshanpur village in Sisai in Gumla, used to help the Maoists of Kuchai was serious. “Though initial reports suggest that Bara used to extend tacit support to Naxalites, we do not have any material evidence against him. Therefore, we will have to probe further,” the SP added.

A makeshift structure, once used by the state irrigation department, was blown up by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres at Bansua village near Sonua block (administrative division) in the West Singhbhum District in the night of October 17, reports Telegraph.

We immediately started long-range patrolling in Sonua and Goelkera jungles as well as combing operations in Bansua village to apprehend the rebels responsible,” Jha added. He also said that Police or paramilitary forces had never used the structure for anti-insurgency operations in Saranda or Sonua. He said the extremists might have blown up the structure anticipating its use by the Police in future. Further, an intelligence source said, “Right from the time the Naxalites entered Saranda forest nine years ago, they have blown up each and every forest guesthouse in the area. They wanted to ensure that the police or paramilitary forces did not use forest guesthouses or lodges to take shelter.”
