Mangru Portet (48), an ‘area committee member’ of Aheri Dalam (armed squad) of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), was killed during an encounter with C-60 commandos in the forest of Kopewancha near Rajaram Khanla village under Aheri taluka (administrative division) in Gadchiroli District on July 23, reports The Times of India. A press release issued by the Gadchiroli Police stated, during a heavy exchange of fire, the Police team gunned down one Naxalite [Left Wing Extremist (LWE)], identified as Mangru alias Ram Chinna Portet, while others managed to flee the spot. A 12 bore gun and some Naxal literature were also recovered from the spot, said the release. Portet, engaged in the movement for more than two decades, having more than 40 offences against him, had a reward of INR 600,000 on his head. Portet was shifted to Aheri a couple of years ago by the senior brass of rebels so that he can strengthen the base of the party in his home taluka. Gadchiroli Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG), Ankush Shinde said the Naxalites had gathered at the forest between Rajaram Khanla and Damrancha to hold a meeting. "It was their temporary camping site which was raided by the C-60 commandos following concrete information. We feel that more Naxalites could be injured during the exchange of fire," DIG Shinde added.

The Maharashtra Police busted a Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) camp on the border of Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra, and recovered weapons and horses on August 13, reports The Hindu. “A special team headed by Additional Superintendent of Police (operations) Maheshwar Reddy launched an anti-Maoist operation in Abujhmad on the border of Gadchiroli district of Maharashtra and Narayanpur district of Chhattisgarh.

Six weapons and other material of daily use were also recovered at the camp site,” said the Gadchiroli Superintendent of Police (SP) in a release. This was the first time when horses were found in a Maoist camp. “Senior Maoist leaders like Bhupathi operate in Abujhmad and the horses may have been used for senior leaders,” the release added. Senior central committee leader Sonu Bhupati is chief of Dandakaranya range falling in areas of Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Police also seized three Bharmar (Muzzle loading) guns, items of daily use, and some Naxal [Left Wing Extremism (LWE)] literature from the spot.

The commandos from the State Anti-Naxal Squad (ANS), Commandos-60 (C-60), of the Maharashtra Police killed seven Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres, including five women cadres, in an encounter in Kalled forest under the Jinganoor Police Station limits in Sironcha tehsil (revenue unit) of Gadchiroli District on December 6, reports The Hindu. Confirming the development, Special Inspector General of Police (SIGP, Anti-Naxal Operations), Sharad Shelar said that the bodies of all the seven Naxals [Left Wing Extremists (LWEs)] killed in the encounter had been recovered. The women cadres killed in the encounter belonged to the Sironcha dalam (armed squad). The Police team also recovered two Self-Loading Rifles (SLRs), two 303 guns, two locally made guns and other Maoist literature from the spot. Further, SIGP, Shelar stated, “There has been a spurt in the violent activities by the Maoists in Gadchiroli especially this week because they are observing the PLGA [Maoists’ military wing the People’s Liberation Guerilla Army] week. It is their strategy to terrorise common people. But this [Wednesday’s encounter] was a major success for us.”One of the seven Maoists killed is suspected to be Jadi Pushpa alias Balamma of Bellampally town in Mancherial District of Telengana. “We are assuming that Pushpa was killed in encounter as civil rights activists met her family members at Chandravelli village to condole her death,” revealed a source in the Police department. “A positive identity would be established only after the Maharashtra Police releases her details,” he added. Pushpa, who is also known as Rajeshwari and Rajeshwarakka, joined the underground outfit about 20 years back. She was working in Dandakaranya area in Chhattisgarh and carried a SLR and a reward of INR 400,000. The identities of the remaining six cadres are yet to be ascertained.

An unidentified Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadre was killed in an encounter in the forest between Kamasur and Yelaram hamlets in Sironcha Taluka in Gadchiroli District on December 12, reports The Times of India. The Gadchiroli Police have claimed his body is the eighth retrieved after the encounter near Kalled village, around 12 kilometres from Kamasur, where seven Maoists were killed on December 6. Ankush Shinde, Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Police, said the Dechlipetha sub-Police Station and Jimulgatta Quick Response Team (QRT) conducted an intelligence-based operation following which the body was recovered. Gadchiroli, Superintendent of Police (SP), Abhinav Deshmukh said the deceased Naxalite probably belonged to any of the formations of Platoon 14, or local organizational squads (LOS) of Sironcha, Perimili and Aheri who were present near Kalled. "The firing lasted for around 15 minutes. We have recovered a .303 rifle, a few live rounds and some regular material for daily use," said Deshmukh. The identity of the slain Naxalites is yet to be confirmed, said Deshmukh.
