A Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadre, identified as Sameer Mohonda alias Sadhu Linga (31), a member of the Chatgaon Local Organizational Squad (LOS) of the CPI-Maoist, carrying a reward of INR 200,000 on his head, was killed in an encounter with C-60 commandos in the Kiarkoti-Abujhmad Forest area in Bhamragarh Taluka (revenue division) in Gadchiroli District of Maharashtra on April 1, reports The Times of India. A press release by the office of Gadchiroli Superintendent of Police (SP) stated that in the lead-up to an ongoing planned agitation in the Todgatta region, Naxalites [Left Wing Extremism, LWE] had threatened the local population to join. They had strategically distributed pamphlets to instigate local villagers to support their cause and to oppose the road work and other developmental work on the false pretext of starting of Damkodwahi mining operation. As per the input, a large congregation of Naxalites was present near Todgatta to intimidate villagers, and they were planning a largescale ambush and attack on operating Police parties, the release said. Acting on the input, Gadchiroli Police's C60 anti-Naxal squad launched an operation in the Abujhmad Forest bordering Chhattisgarh. During the operation, they came under indiscriminate fire from a group of 60 to 70 Naxalites hiding in the Hiker Forest who used Barrel Grenade Launcher (BGL) and other weapons. The C-60 commandos retaliated and engaged Naxalites for approximately an hour. Eventually, the Naxalites managed to flee into the dense forest. A huge cache of weapons, including one .303 rifle, bharmar gun, country-made pistol, three magazines, 31 bullets, cash Rs 38,000, medicines, one branded tablet, Maoist literature and other materials were recovered from the hillock where the encounter happened for almost an hour.

As many as 14 cadres from the district were currently working underground for the banned Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) party, informed Superintendent of Police (SP) Vineeth G in Bhadradri Kothagudem District of Telangana on April 6, reports Telangana Today. Previously, 28 people from the district worked in the Maoist party and their number has come down now because of the efforts being made by the State Government and Bhadradri Kothagudem Police to wean away Maoist’s influence in the district. The family members of the underground Maoists have to take the responsibility of encouraging the Maoists to surrender for leading a normal life. The government provides support for the rehabilitation of surrendered Maoists, the SP said, adding that the Maoist leaders were terrorising innocent tribals and forcing them to join the banned Maoist party to engage them in illegal activities for their selfish interests. Knowingly and unknowingly, some went underground and now find it difficult to join the mainstream of life.

The High Court of Kerala rejected the petitions filed by two persons hailing from Andhra Pradesh, who were arrested under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) for their alleged links with the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), reports indialegallive.com on April 14. Noting that the offences alleged against them were of a grave and serious nature, the Division Bench of Justice Alexander Thomas and Justice C.S. Sudha denied bail to the accused. The High Court, while taking in view the material which showed the alleged involvement of accused number 5 & 6 in the activities of CPI-Maoist, ruled that they cannot be granted bail.
