The Maoists claimed responsibility for the murder of Trinamool Congress leader Nishikanta Mondal in Nandigram on September 22, alleging he was a Police informer. Underground Maoist leader Kishen told PTI from an undisclosed location that Mondal, panchayat pradhan (head of village level local self Government institution) at Sonachura in Nandigram, was killed because he was a Trinamool party leader and worked as a Police informer. "We have our base in Sonchaura in Nandigram, and Trinamool also has its base in the same area. Nishikanta was making negative propaganda and was not allowing us to function properly in the area. We had requested him many times but he refused to listen," Kishenji said.

PTI reports that cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) raided Sankrail Police Station in West Midnapore District on October 20 and shot dead two Police officers and kidnapped the officer-in-charge of the Police Station.

Speaking to The Hindu over telephone from an undisclosed location in the District’s Lalgarh region on October 21, Kishanji said: "Since we are at war with the State, we have to abide by the rules of warfare and take hostages.

Times of India reports that armed cadres of the People’s Committee against Police Atrocities (PCPA) as well as that of Communist party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) laid siege to the Bhubaneswar-New Delhi Rajdhani Express at Banstala Railway Station, eight kilometres from Jhargram town in West Midnapore District, on October 27. The Security Forces rushing to the site for rescue operation were ambushed by the Maoists, triggering an encounter in which two PCPA men were killed and a Policeman was injured. After the gunfight, the PCPA cadres and the Maoists managed to escape. The Security Forces later reached the spot at 7.30pm (IST) and the train left an hour later. The PCPA cadres were demanding the release of Chhatradhar Mahato, the PCPA leader, who was arrested on September 26. Earlier at around 2:30pm, the Maoists held the train driver hostage and encircled the train for about five hours at Banstala. Some passengers were also injured in brick-batting. The driver and his assistant — initially taken to a building near the station — were later released.

The Hindu reports that the military wing of the Maoist-backed People's Committee against Police Atrocity (PCPA) - Sidhu Kanu Gana Militia - vandalised property belonging to the State Government in two separate incidents in West Midnapore District late on October 29 and October 30. A group of armed men attacked the Silda Range Office in the Binpur block late on October 29 and ransacked and set ablaze six buildings. The group assaulted the officer-in-charge and looted money. It left behind posters demanding the unconditional release of PCPA convener Chhatradhar Mahato and other leaders of the outfit. In another incident on October 30, a group ransacked the Panchayat (village level local self government institution) office at Makli in the Goaltore area and later set it ablaze. Superintendent of Police Manoj Kumar Verma said the PCPA was behind both attacks and that they were being investigated. "The Police had been claiming that the PCPA is an offshoot of the Maoists and was involved in all kinds of violent activities. But only after they launched the so-called armed wing was it proved that there is no difference between the Maoists and the PCPA supporters," Verma said.
