An estimated 16 people comprising police personnel, civilians and extremists die each year in left-wing extremism related incidents in Orissa. The State Home Secretary T.K. Mishra told Zee News in the State capital Bhubaneswar on May 1 that 39 extremists, 38 police personnel and 37 civilians were killed in the last seven years. He further said that while the Government has been trying to equip its police personnel, the extremists have already spread their network in 15 of the 30 districts of the State. "We have demanded inclusion of five more districts under the Security Related Expenditure (SRE) scheme so that the state can avail additional funds to tackle extremism in those areas", Mishra said adding only nine districts of Orissa have been included in the SRE scheme.

A group of Maoists shot dead a forest official, identified as Rabindranath Patra, and set ablaze his beat-house and motorcycle at Sarguda village in the Mayurbhanj district on May 8, according to Press Trust of India. Mayurbhanj District Collector, Suresh Vashisth, told The Telegraph that around 10 armed Maoists stormed into the Sarguda forest beat-house in Rairangpur forest division and dragged Rabindranath Patra, out of his house. "Then they set the beat-house on fire and took Patra around half-a-km away before putting a bullet through his head," said Vashisth. Before leaving, the Maoists also put up posters on the trees demanding the "end of oppression" by forest officials, he added. The Maoists, three of whom were women, were suspected to have crossed over from the neighbouring Jharkhand and went back to the neighbouring State after the incident, police said. Forest officials said Patra reached the area on May 7 in connection with the elephant census being undertaken and had attended a wedding feast at a nearby area on May 8-night.

According to Times of India, the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) on May 9 called on democratic organisations and the oppressed masses to "build a strong, united and militant movement to stop fake encounters, illegal arrests, torture and atrocities against people by police, para-military and the Army." Reacting to the alleged fake encounter killing of gangster Sohrabuddin Sheikh and his wife Kausar Bi in Gujarat, the CPI-Maoist central committee spokesperson Azad, in a release issued on May 9 said: "The brutal murder of Sohrabuddin and his wife in November, 2005, in Ahmedabad after arresting them from a private bus in Hyderabad is only the tip of the iceberg of the cruel deeds and inhuman acts of the lawless police system in India." "The arrest of the three police officers, including deputy inspector-general of police D G Vanzara and two superintendents of police, Raj Kumar Pandian (Gujarat) and Dinesh Kumar (Rajasthan), and their suspension, are a mere eye-wash," the release added. "The AP [Andhra Pradesh] police are even more notorious than their Gujarat counterparts in staging fake encounters. They have committed the worst atrocities during the Congress rule under former chief ministers, including Jalagam Vengal Rao, Nedurmalli Janardhan Reddy and now Y S Rajasekhara Reddy," he claimed.

On May 15, the Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil informed the Lok Sabha (lower house of parliament) that Naxalites (left-wing extremists) were working in close coordination with some terrorist outfits operating in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) and also maintain links with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) of Sri Lanka, reports Times of India. "Though the government has no documentary evidence of any memorandum of understanding signed between international terror outfits with naxalites in the country, we have enough information suggesting that there is coordination between them", he said. Patil said it was difficult for the government to interfere in security matters in some States as the dispensation there did not take it very kindly. He said the government had provided unmanned aerial vehicles to anti-Naxalite paramilitary forces deployed in Chhattisgarh, which has so far only been used by the Army to gather intelligence on movement of the extremists.

Ten people were killed and over 50 others injured in a powerful bomb blast at the Mecca Masjid (Mecca mosque) near Charminar in Hyderabad, capital of Andhra Pradesh, on May 18, according to The Hindu. Over 10,000 people were offering prayers at the 400-year-old mosque at 1.15 p.m. when the bomb exploded. Police sources said that the explosive device, in which RDX was used, was triggered with a cellular phone and was hidden underneath a thick marble platform. Two more improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were recovered from the site and later defused by the police. Police also found a SIM card from a mobile phone attached to an IED. Four more people were killed subsequently in police firing as mobs clashed with the police. Sporadic incidents of arson and attacks continued in many areas till late in the night. No organisation has, so far, claimed responsibility for the attack, even though police suspect the involvement of the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI) and Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI). Balwinder Singh, Police Commissioner of Hyderabad, told CNN-IBN, "It was a terrorist attack. Jehadi hand is not ruled out behind the attack.
