According to The Hindu, three railway officials, abducted by suspected cadres of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) on May 12, were rescued on May 14 after an intensive combing operation in the forests of Amjharia in the Hazaribagh District, 140 km from Ranchi. “Station Master Lalit Prasad, Deputy Station Master Sushil Kumar Tete and Assistant Station Master Anil Kumar of Hendigir railway station of the East-Central Railways have been rescued unharmed,” Superintendent of Police (SP) Pankaj Kamboj told journalists. During the combing operation, the kidnappers saw the police approaching and started firing. After retaliatory action, all of them fled leaving the officials behind, he said. The abductors, who claimed to be Maoists, could belong to either the Jharkhand Prastuti Committee (JPC) or Tritiya Prastuti Committee (TPC), breakaway groups of the CPI-Maoist, the SP said. Three rifles, two country-made revolvers, six live cartridges, four cell phones and explosive materials were recovered from the spot.

A gun-battle was reported between Police and cadres of the Jharkhand Prastuti Committee (JPC), a breakaway faction of the Communist Party of India- Maoist (CPI-Maoist), in the forests near Chirudih village of Barkagaon, some 47 kilometers from the Hazaribagh District headquarters in the night of July 20, reports Telegraph. Though no casualty was reported the Police recovered a wireless set, five mobile phones, 143 cartridges and files containing names of persons who had paid ‘levy’ to the JPC. The extremists, however, reportedly managed to escape. According to sources, the Barkagaon Police had received a tip-off regarding JPC members holding a meeting inside the Chirudih forests after dark. Accordingly, a team led by officer in charge of the Barkagaon Police station, Gopal Krishna, and assistant sub-inspectors K.K. Pathak and J.P. Marandi, reached the spot around 12.30 am. Sources said the extremists became aware of the Police presence and began to fire indiscriminately. Hazaribagh Superintendent of Police Pankaj Kamboj said the Police fired 10 rounds and the insurgents 15 rounds before the encounter ended. “There were about 10 to 15 rebels at the spot. They managed to escape under the cover of darkness. Otherwise, we would have surely managed to kill or arrest them,” Kamboj added.

The Padma Police on July 23 raided the house of one Sunil Kumar Mehta in the Chameli forest and seized a large quantity of explosives, reports Times of India. Briefing the media, Deputy Superintendent of Police (Headquarters), Naushad Alam, said the seized explosives include 10 pieces of power gel, 15 pieces of electric detonator, a 100-metre safety fuse and about 15 kilograms of ammonium nitrate. The raid was conducted under the leadership of Padma Police Station officer in-charge Devdas Yadav, he added. Alam said that Mehta did not have any licence for possessing the explosives. He also said that anti-social elements purchase explosive materials for carrying out illegal mining in stone quarries and pass on the same to the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) who are quite active in the Padma forest. Alam also said that the Police had seized a large amount of explosives during the 2009 parliamentary elections. These materials were supposed to be used by the Maoists to create disturbances during the elections, he added.

Police arrested the People's Liberation Front of India (PLFI) ‘regional commander’, Santosh Yadav, in Ranchi, Times of India reports. Police also seized three locally-made pistols, cartridges, five cell phones and over a dozen SIM cards from his possession. Yadav was reportedly responsible for the outfit's operations in Ranchi, Latehar, Chatra, Lohardaga and parts of Hazaribag Districts. Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Praveen Kumar said Yadav was wanted in over two dozen cases of extortion, murder and burning of mine vehicles, trucks and machinery in the mining areas. "Yadav was staying in a rented accommodation under Sukhdeo Nagar police station and used to shift his residence every five to six months to evade arrest," Kumar said. The SSP said Yadav was arrested along with one Rakesh Kumar and a teenaged girl, Rekha Kumari, who use to collect extortion money on behalf of the former. Yadav told Police during interrogation that his squad had sophisticated weapons like SLRs and AK-47s. Telegraph adds that Yadav had a cash reward of INR 100000 on his head. “Yadav was once a CPI-Maoist associate and worked as a sub-zonal commander between 2002 and 2005. In 2006, he met Dinesh Gope and formed Jharkhand Liberation Tigers (JLT), which was later renamed PLFI. Yadav was in hiding in the city for a year and a half,” said the SSP. The primary task of the organisation is to extort money from contractors, businessmen and disrupt development activities. PLFI is active in Gumla, Khunti, Chatra, Hazaribagh, Garhwa, Palamau and Daltonganj. It is a rival faction of the CPI-Maoist and the Tritiya Prastuti Committee.

Following subsequent raids conducted by the Hazaribag Police, 374 bags of ammonium nitrate concealed in two storehouses at Ichak More on the National Highway-33 and Nagwan village under the Ichak and Sadar Police stations respectively were seized on an unspecified date. Two persons were arrested in this connection. Disclosing this on August 17, the Hazaribag Superintendent of Police (SP), Pankaj Kamboj, said that during the last two months the Police arrested several persons for supplying explosives to the extremist groups, including the CPI-Maoist. He said some arrested extremists confessed to Police during interrogation that they had been purchasing ammonium nitrate and other explosives from Prakash Mehta of Ichak More. The explosives were supplied to Maoist ‘zonal commander’ Navin Manjhi in the jungle areas of Bishnugarh Police Station in Hazaribag District and Bagodar Police Station in Giridih District during the recently held Parliamentary elections for laying underground landmines for killing the Security Force personnel. The SP said Police seized 364 bags of ammonium nitrate from Prakash's storehouse at Ichak More which was brought from Visakhapatnam in the State of Andhra Pradesh. His interrogation led to the seizure of 10 more bags of ammonium nitrate from Mahendra Mehta at Nagwan village. Police also seized 10 powerful detonators and cables used for laying the mines. All the three above named persons were arrested under various sections of the explosives Act, the SP added.

four of their Maoist sympathisers were arrested on the border of Chatra and Hazaribgah for carrying arms and ammunition in the last 24 hours. Hazaribgah Sadar Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Naushad Alam said the insurgents, arrested from Garukhurha village, near Itkhori, had four rifles and live cartridges in their possession. The consignment was meant for ‘sub-zonal commanders’ of the little-known Jharkhand Sanyukta Morcha, a breakaway faction of the CPI-Maoist. The group was travelling in an SUV that had a tampered number plate. DSP (rural) Sangeeta Kumari said Morcha chief Rampati Ganjhu had been arrested in Ranchi two years ago and sent to Chatra prison. Reorganising a team even from behind bars, Ganjhu ordered his men to supply arms to ‘sub-zonal commanders’ Nageshwar Ganjhu alias Nagji and Chamra Munda alias Sudhirji. Three of the arrested insurgents — identified as Ram Nandan Prasad, Sanjay Kumar and Awadh Kumar, all residents of Gaya — confessed that they had supplied bullets to Nagji and Sudhirji in the past, too. The DSP (rural) said the SUV belonged to the fourth, Santosh Kumar, who pleaded innocent. Earlier on November 22, Police arrested Mohammed Irshad, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha’s Bundu block president and his two associates, Sukhdeo Swansi and Haradhan Lohra, under the Unlawful Activity (Prevention) Act, for supply of goods to the Maoists, Indian Express reported. They were allegedly involved in supplying explosives to the CPI-Maoist ‘zonal commander’ Kundan Pahan, whose area of influence lies in Bundu and Tamar block of Ranchi District. After a tip off, a Police team intercepted a Bolero (JH01R-4724) and took Irshad, Swansi and Lohra into custody after the search carried out by it led to recovery of goods including 20 flash guns of camera, one bundle of wire, two soldering equipments, more than two dozen Durocell batteries and one charger which were used in manufacturing of the land mines. According to the report the supplier was based in Ranchi. “We have already traced him and hope to arrest him soon,” a Police official said. “There is a large plan by terrorists to plant landmines…They use camera flashes, wires, switches, holders, batteries in landmines and then exploding them. There are also a large number of woollen clothes and shoes. An accomplice of terrorists along with his colleagues was taking the entire material to Bundu from Ranchi,” said Praveen Kumar, Superintendent of Police (Ranchi), adds ANI. Assembly elections are being held in Jharkhand in five phases beginning November 25.

The Security Forces (SFs) on December 2 recovered a landmine planted beneath a culvert at Zarzari village under Bishnugarh Police Station of Hazaribgah District, reports Times of India. Briefing the media, Deputy Commissioner-cum District Returning Officer Vinay Kumar Choubey said that the SFs recovered the landmine weighing 50 kilograms while patrolling the Bishnugarh-Gomia road. The officer said that the SF personnel, who were patrolling the area on foot, heard the sound of an explosion and saw smoke billowing out of the culvert. Subsequently, they conducted a thorough search of the culvert and found the landmine lying underneath it. A bomb squad, which accompanied the SFs, immediately deactivated the landmine, he added. Choubey said that the SFs also recovered a pair of shoes and slippers from the spot which the Communist party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) had probably left behind after planting the landmine. "A major mishap seems to have been averted as polling personnel were supposed to return from the same route along with electronic voting machines (EVMs) after the commencement of polls," he added. He said that polling personnel and SFs, who were supposed to cross the Maoist-hit areas under the Bishnugarh Police Station of the District, were advised to move on foot as a precautionary measure. The Police have launched a massive combing operation in the area, he added.
