Two persons allegedly carrying cash to hand over to the People's Liberation Front of India (PLFI), a breakaway faction of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) were arrested in Khunti District on February 19, a senior Police officer said, reports Business Standard. Police have arrested Tinku Kumar and Manoj Lugun when they were on their way on a motorcycle to handed over the money collected as levy to the PLFI sub-zonal ‘Commander’ Jidan Gudia, Superintendent of Police, Anis Gupta said. The arrest was made on Ranchi-Khunti road under Khunti police station in Maoist-hit Khunti district, he said. The Police also seized INR 1.562 million allegedly collected as levy, he said adding it was yet to be ascertained from whom the money was collected. Meanwhile, Jharkhand Police have asked for a contingent of 5,000 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel to help them destroy 12 Maoist camps across the State, reports The Times of India. Most of the 12 camps are mostly situated in forested hills, which the forces consider impregnable and do not dare to venture into. Budha Pahar on the Jharkhand-Chhatisgarh-Odisha tri-junction, Katiya-Kumandih forest in Latehar, Jhumra-Luggu hills in Bokaro, Gidhaur Pahar and Chauparan-Lohardaga-Gaya at Jharkhand-Bihar border and Tinkoniya Pahar of Dalma Wildlife Sanctuary at Jharkhand-West Bengal border are among these 12 centres. A confidential study conducted by the CRPF has found that Maoists have withdrawn into these 12 bases following aggressive security measures in the last 14 years. Director General of Police (DGP) Rajiv Kumar said: "These 12 places work as incubation centers for Maoists who have been chased out from all other parts of the state. The additional forces will play a crucial role in dismantling these camps." Sources in the police intelligence wing said Maoists hold training sessions for new recruits, organize inter-state meetings, prepare strategies, Maoist literature and make explosives at these camps. The areas are strategically surrounded by hills not connected with motorable roads. The core areas of these places do not have CRPF camps. The camps situated near them are around 20 to 30km away.
