Times of India reports that the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres killed a village guard in the Pachmo village under the Mahuatand Police station in the Bokaro District in the morning of September 2. Police sources said the Maoists killed Ramdhani Ganju suspecting him to be a Police informer. The incident occurred when Ganju was attending a function in his village on the occasion of Karma Puja (religious worship). Approximately 100 armed Maoists held Ganju captive and took him to a nearby community building and later chopped off his neck. The Maoists also left behind pamphlets at the spot which said, "Jo mukhbiri karega, uska yehi halat hoga (Police informers would be dealt in a similar manner)." Police later recovered Ganju's body from the incident site.

At least two Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres were killed in an encounter with the Police in the Ranchi District on September 4, reports Telegraph. A gun battle ensued between the two sides when the Maoists opened fire towards a Police picket at Baruhatu forest in the Bundu Police Station area around 1.30am (IST). At least 700 rounds of bullets were fired from automatic and semi-automatic weapons during the encounter that continued for nearly three hours. Superintendent of Police (SP), Anup T. Mathew, confirmed the incident saying the Police forced the Maoists to retreat. “The rebels had opened fire from the hilly terrain side and wanted to damage the picket, which hinders their subversive activities. We killed at least two rebels,” Mathew said. He said the purpose of the attack was to divert the attention of the police who have intensified operations in other parts of Bundu.

Three Naxalites (left wing extremists) of the Jharkhand Prastuti Committee (JPC), a breakaway faction of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), were arrested after an encounter with the Police at Churugarha, about 70 kilometers from Ranchi, the Police said on September 8, reported PTI. The Police reached the spot after getting a tip-off that a group of JPC cadres had assembled at Churugarha to plot a crime in the night of September 7.

Over 150 bullets were fired by both the sides, he added and claimed that some of the Naxalites had suffered bullet wounds, but they managed to escape. “One of the three arrested Naxalites, identified as Raj Kumar Ganju, is a big catch for the police,” he added further.

The fast-track court II of Awdhesh Mal on September 9 found a Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leader, Shyam Sinku, guilty in an arms case and sentenced him to five years’ rigorous imprisonment (RI), Telegraph reports. Sinku, an ‘area commander’ of the Ghurabandha region in the Ghatshila sub-division of the East Singhbhum District, was arrested from the same Police station area on June 26, 2006. On being interrogated, the Maoist revealed the address of a hideout in Dumaria. Police had raided the place and recovered two rifles, including a self-loading one. A case was registered against him under the arms act at the Dumaria Police station on the basis of an FIR lodged by then officer-in-charge Manoj Kumar Gupta. Sinku, a Kumardubi resident, had told the Police that he visited the steel city a number of times with his comrades. He also divulged secrets about the outfit’s operations in Ghatshila. Sinku, considered a hard-core extremist, was involved in many subversive activities in and around Ghatshila. In 2008, a Jamshedpur fast-track court had sentenced him to 10 years’ RI after he was found guilty of a murder attempt on the village headman of Kasiabera village. Sinku was the first extremist to be convicted in a court of law by the Jamshedpur civil court.

The Jharkhand Government will undertake a pilot project to construct helipads at Police stations in two Districts worst affected by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) violence, an official spokesperson said on September 11. "Under the project, helipads will be constructed at police stations in Palamau and Chatra Districts. These will be used for anti-Maoist operations," S.N. Pradhan, Jharkhand Police spokesperson, told IANS. An unnamed senior Police official, involved in anti-Maoist operations, said, "In Palamau and Chatra Districts, it is difficult to move in deep jungle areas as the Maoist rebels have planted landmines. The geographical terrain of both the districts favour the rebels. The construction of helipads will help in the movement of security forces." According to sources, Jharkhand Government could plan such helipads in other Districts also.

PTI reports that armed Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres on September 15 severely assaulted five farmers for cultivating their land at Kada village in the Palamau District, Police said. The extremists also destroyed paddy and pulse which the farmers had planted. The Maoists had branded the five farmers as Police informers two years ago and ordered them not to cultivate the land located near the Sone river, Superintendent of Police Saket Kumar Singh said. Since then, the farmers, who together own about 10 acres of land, did not dare to visit their land for fear of Maoist attack, sources in the Husseinabad Police station said. However, they could not resist resuming ploughing following last week's rains in the face of severe drought in Jharkhand, the sources added.

Seven Naxalites, including a ‘zonal commander’, were arrested from Ranchi and Bokaro Districts on September 24, according to Telegraph. Threes extremists were arrested from Tamrana forest under Tamar Police station area on the outskirts of the state capital Ranchi after a nightlong joint operation by the Security Forces. They were identified as Mahadeo Munda, the chief of Krantikari Kisan Committee, and his two aides Shanker Munda and Umesh Munda. The three were part of an 18-member Naxalite squad present in the forest. The other extremists reportedly manage to escape. They are members of Ram Mohan Singh Munda squad, Police said. Two firearms, seven rounds of live cartridges, 25 kilograms of power gel, a high-end explosive used for preparation of land mines and 10 detonators were recovered from the three extremists. On their information, Police found a land mine at a point between Lugtu and Taimara. Senior superintendent of Police, Ranchi, Praveen Kumar said that Mahadeo was one of the oldest and most experienced Naxalite leaders active in the Chalkad area of the District, which covers the forest range of Tamar, Arki and Bundu. “Mahadeo had trained dreaded Maoist leaders of the district, Kundan Pahan and Kishore Munda. He had joined the outfit in 1992 and has led several operations against police. He also played a key role in Naxalite attacks in the district,” Kumar added.

Times of India reports that suspected Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres on September 30 abducted a Police inspector (special branch) posted in the Khunti District. Inspector Francis Induwar was abducted when he had gone to a local market at around 5.30pm (IST) to make house-hold purchases. The abductors, four in number, forcefully took the inspector with them, Police said. "The abductors were carrying weapons which prevented the officer or people present at the market to resist," said a Police officer. Deputy Inspector General of Police (Ranchi Zone) R. K. Mallick said, "We suspected that the inspector was abducted by Maoists." The Khunti District Superintendent of Police, Jatin Marwal, who confirmed the incident, said six extremists, some of them posing as villagers, were involved in the operation, adds Telegraph. “We gathered from eyewitnesses that the rebels, who were carrying no weapons, surrounded him instantaneously. They then caught hold of him and dragged him away from the market place,” Marwal said.
