The depleted armoury of the division has big weapons such AK 47s, Self-Loaded Rifles (SLRs) and INSAS (Indian Small Arms System) assault rifles, numbering six, nine and eight respectively, the Maoist documents, copies of which are in possession of The Asian Age, disclosed. The rest are small weapons like 303 rifles, nine mm pistols, revolvers and country-made guns. “This clearly indicates that Darbha Division has become very weak militarily. That is the reason why the Maoists are often using Improvised Explosive Device (IED) as their key weapon”, Dantewada District Superintendent of Police (SP), Abhishek Pallav said.

The comprehensive crime statistics released by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) for 2017, suggests that Chhattisgarh continues to be the hardest hit Indian State by violence and crime unleashed by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), reports The New Indian Express. As per the statistics, out of the total 82 murders by the Maoists, as many as 72 were killed in Chhattisgarh alone. The report covering various categories of crimes by “Anti-National Elements” revealed that the 652 offences were committed by the Maoists. Out of these Chhattisgarh has reported 492 incidents, which is way ahead of other Left Wing Extremism (LWE) affected States. Next comes Jharkhand (30) followed by Andhra Pradesh (16) and Telangana (12) on crime cases reported by Naxalites [Left Wing Extremists, LWE]. West Bengal where the Naxalism emerged as extreme left radical communist ideology in 1967 has recorded zero cases. Among the incidents of violence unleashed by anti-National elements in 2017, the crime lodged against the Maoists is 493 which is higher than the combined registered cases of 290 — that included north-east insurgency (113) and terrorists including Jihadi (177). Cited as the repository of information on crime and criminals, the NCRB data divulged that Chhattisgarh is the only state where 32 incidents of loot/robbery and 41 of arsons in connection with crimes registered against Maoists were reported. The State has also registered the most number of cases on Explosive Substances Act (27), Arms Act (6) and other crimes on different sections of Indian Penal Code (36), damages to public property (2).

Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) in its Annual Report for 2018-19 said, as many as 3,749 people lost their lives in 10,660 incidents of Maoist violence in 10 states since 2010, reports The Daily Pioneer on October 29. In the report, the Ministry said the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) continues to be the most potent among various Left Wing Extremist [LWE] outfits in the country and responsible for more than 88 per cent of the total violent incidents and resultant deaths. “Amidst increasing reverses, the CPI-Maoist has been making efforts to expand to new areas along the inter-State borders without any significant success,” the report said. As per the report, the highest number of casualties took place in Chhattisgarh where 1,370 people were killed in 3,769 violent incidents perpetrated by the Maoists between 2010 and 2018. While 997 people were killed in 3,358 LWE incidents in Jharkhand, 387 people lost their lives in 1,526 violent incidents in Bihar during the same period. The 10 Naxal [Left Wing Extremist, LWE]-hit States are Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Bihar, Odisha, West Bengal, Maharashtra, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. The declining trend in Naxal violence continued in 2018 as well. There has been an overall 26.7 per cent reduction in violent incidents — 1,136 incidents in 2013 to 833 incidents in 2018 — and 39.5 per cent reduction in LWE related deaths — 397 deaths in 2013 to 240 deaths in 2018. The casualties to Security Forces (SFs) declined by 10.7 per cent — 75 deaths in 2013 to 67 deaths in 2018 — and the number of LWE cadre eliminated went up by 65.4 per cent — 136 in 2013 to 225 in 2018. Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand together accounted for 71.7 per cent of violent incidents and 81.7 per cent of deaths. Odisha and Maharashtra accounted for 9 per cent each of the incidents and Bihar accounted for 7.1 per cent incidents in 2018. Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Telangana together reported less than 4 per cent incidents, indicating at the negligible presence and influence of the ultras there. The geographical spread of LWE violence has also been shrinking considerably. In 2018, LWE violence was reported from 251 Police Stations in 60 districts spread across eight States as compared to 330 Police Stations in 76 districts spread over 10 States in 2013.

The Judicial commission report into the June 28, 2012, killings at Sarkeguda in Bijapur District of Chhattisgarh says there is no evidence that the 17 persons killed were cadres of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), and it has detected “manipulation in probe” after the killings, reports The Times of India on December 2. A joint team of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and Chhattisgarh Police had gunned down 17 persons at Sarkeguda in the night of June 28. Security Forces (SFs) had claimed they had launched an operation on the basis of inputs about the presence of Maoists in Sarkeguda and killed 17 Maoists. However, locals insisted those killed were not Maoists but innocent villagers, who had assembled for a village meeting. Later, on July 11, 2012, a one-member judicial commission, headed by Justice V K Agrawal, a retired judge of Madhya Pradesh, High Court, was formed which submitted its report to the State Government in November 2019. The Justice Agrawal report doesn’t use the words ‘fake encounter’, but indicates that those killed were not rebels. The panel has pointed out that they killed from “close quarters”, and that one of the victims was gunned down in the morning — several hours after the “encounter” took place. There was no firing by the villagers, but the SFs might have “fired in panic”, the report says. The Justice Agrawal report has also noted that the injuries suffered by six SF personnel were due to crossfire — possibly by bullets fired by forces. Observing that there was “clear manipulation in the investigation”, the commission also doubted the villagers’ claim that they had assembled for a meeting to discuss a festival.
