The Police arrested Girish Mahato alias Mangru Mahto alias Uttam alias Dhiren alias Dhirendra (45), a State organising committee member of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), along with one of his close associate, identified as Shankar Munda, from Kharmunda village near canal road area under Attabira Police Station in Bargarh District in the morning of January 24, reports The Hindu.

The Jharkhand Police had announced a cash reward of INR 400, 000 on his head. “The District Police got a reliable input regarding movement of Girish Mahato along with his associates in Canal Road area under Attabira Police Station. A special District Police team raided the place and could be able to arrest the Maoist and his associate Shankar,” said Kabita Jalan, Superintendent of Police, addressing a press conference at Bargarh. Jalan said the Police recovered a small fire arm with 12 live cartridges, compass, maps of Odisha and Bargarh, hand sketches of the District armoury of Bargarh and Bargarh Police Station, cash worth INR 2, 290 and literature and leaflets containing anti-government writing from their possession.

Subsequently, he took over Maoist organisations in Sambalpur, Bargarh, Deogarh, and Sundargarh District.

"The Maoists opened fire and our men retaliated likewise. The gun-battle continued for an hour. We have recovered five bodies (all male) from the spot," Director General of Police (DGP) Prakash Mishra said. "Their identities are yet to be ascertained, but we believe they were from Kandhamal and Gajapati Districts and indoctrinated in the Maoist ideology," he added. Police said the blood trail from spot of encounter to the jungle suggested that some of the extremists were injured. "We have seized an Italian-make pistol, which is supposed to be Panda's personal weapon.
