Five Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres, including three girls, were arrested from separate places in Dantewada District of Chhattisgarh on February 7, reports Devdiscourse. Security Forces (SFs) had received information that Maoists were planning attacks on Police in urban areas of the District, Superintendent of Police (SP), Abhishek Pallava said. Combined teams of the Police's District Reserve Guard (DRG), Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and local Police conducted raids in Kirandul, Dantewada and Geedam, rounding up nine suspects including seven minors, he said. Two of them were identified as Sodhi Bhima (29) and Sodhi Nanda (20), who were part of "action teams" of Maoists while three girls were members of the rebels' `Jan militia', Pallava said. Remaining four minors were released as they were found to have no connection with Maoists, the SP said. Bhima and Nanda, carrying a reward of Rs 2 lakh each on their heads, were allegedly involved in the killing of a villager in Nilawaya forests on January 31, planting Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) to target SFs in Potali area during the recent Panchayat (village level local self-Government institution) polls, and attacks on Police and CRPF personnel, the official added. Maoist literature, a detonator and 100 gm gun powder were recovered from their possession, he said. The three ‘Jan Militia’ (Maoists people’s army) members, aged 12-17 years, were allegedly involved in reconnaissance of SFs and planting explosives and iron spikes to target them, Pallava said. Maoists had planned attacks in view of 110th anniversary of `Bhumkal revolt' (rebellion by tribal farmers in Bastar region against British rulers in 1910), between February 4 to 10.
