Acceding to The Times of India, a woman was leading the attack on Security Force (SF) personnel at Karmatiya forest in Latehar Distinct of Jharkhand that killed 11 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) troopers on January 7. Two Maoists were also killed in return fire on January 7 and 16 SF personnel were injured. The Maoists on January 8 killed two civilians taking the death toll to 15. Combing operation was intensified following the second attack. The two civilians were killed and one critically injured when bombs exploded on Tuesday afternoon during search for more bodies inside the forest, said Latehar Superintendent of Police (SP) Kranti Kumar Garhdeshi. The Maoists had planted the bombs inside the dead bodies, which were ripped to pieces the moment the search team tried to recover them. The Latehar SP said the civilians were killed while they were accompanying Police personnel. Around 300 CRPF and Jharkhand Jaguar personnel treaded deep into the Karmatiya jungles, about 250km from Ranchi as part of a combing operation when Maoists started indiscriminate firing from tree tops and hills. Over 600 Maoists, led by senior leaders, were present in the Latehar jungles and around 30 of them have been injured. CPI-Maoist central committee member Arvind was the leader behind the attacks, said Police sources. Many of the Maoists were dressed like SF personnel.

Security Forces (SFs), engaged in anti-Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) operations in Latehar District, faced a tough time on June 28 moving further into the dense forests as the entire terrain was strewn with landmines and in the last 48 hours, the Maoists had triggered more than 100 explosions, reports The Times of India. The forces claimed to have killed at least eight suspected Maoists in Latehar District on June 27. Police sources said intermittent exchange of fire is going on in the forests and they suspect presence of at least 250 Maoists in the forests, including top leader Arvindji who led the major attack on security forces in Latehar in January. "We are taking very calculated steps and hope that this time Arvindji and his group, which managed to move out of Gumla and Lohardaga, will not manage to escape," said a source. Director General of Police (DGP) Rajeev Kumar, who visited the encounter site in Latehar jungles and interacted with the personnel and officer, said the place has been heavily mined. The DGP said that keeping in mind ground realities and difficult terrain they expect that encounter is expected to continue for another four to five days.
