Two Maoists were arrested from Tirilpiri village under Bundu Police Station area, about 40 kilometres from Ranchi, on January 5. The Police recovered explosives, woollen clothes and Police uniforms from a cave in Raghoi Hill on the basis of information provided by the arrestees, a legal cell in-charge Kalicharan Munda and fellow cadres Krishna Mahto. Speaking to the media, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Praveen Kumar said Munda was responsible for killing four persons, including a minor girl, on August 28, 2009 at Bundu. "But Munda’s main job was to keep track of cases pending against extremists in different courts. He looked after the cases of rebels detained in Ranchi, Khunti and Chaibasa jails. It was he who decided how much was to be paid as legal expenses for each rebel in jail," Kumar said. Munda also supplied explosives, clothes and provisions to Maoist squads operating in the forests. The SSP said Munda was constantly in touch with the brother of Kundan Pahan, the custodian of levy collected from different sources. In order to protect his identity, Munda associated himself with a frontal organisation of the Maoists, Krantikari Kisan Committee (KKC), and regularly visited Ranchi, while Mahto used to collect levy from tractor drivers carrying sand from riverbanks.

The Security Forces (SFs) recovered four improvised explosive devices (IEDs), each weighing about 70 kilograms, and one can bomb weighing 25kg from Dungri Pahadi near Serangtoli village under Namkum Police Station, barely 20km from Ranchi, the Capital of Jharkhand on June 5, according to Telegraph. All the bombs were defused, except one IED the forces chose to explode. The explosives were hidden by Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres in a cave in Dungri Pahadi. South Chotanagpur Director General of Police (DIG) R.K. Mallick said the bombs were very powerful. "The four IEDs collectively had the power to blow up a fully protected anti-landmine vehicle," he explained. While the 25kg bomb was kept in a can, the IEDs were kept in separate boxes made of inch-thick steel. The IEDs were also coated with carbon, thus making them safe from metal detectors when planted under a road or a bridge. The IEDs and the can bomb were covered with plastic and hidden in the cave.
