Three Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-backed People’s Committee against Police Atrocities (PCPA) cadres were killed on January 2 at Joynagar near Lalgarh in West Midnapore District after Security Forces opened fire on a PCPA rally, reports Times of India. Bijoy Mahato (38), Bhola Mahato (43) and another PCPA cadre died on the spot. The Security Forces (SFs) recovered the dead bodies from the stretch between Joynagar and Chhenraboni village in Lalgarh. Trouble broke out in the afternoon when Police got information that armed Maoist cadres were forcing villagers of Radhanagar, Sevayatan and Baita to join the rally. Telegraph adds that when a 200-strong SF approached Joynagar village, nearly 1,000 people blocked their path. “The Maoists used the villagers as shields and hid themselves behind,” said Superintendent of police Manoj Verma. While being surrounded, officers saw through binoculars extremists with AK-47s in the village. When the Police used tear gas to disperse the crowd, the Maoists started firing. After the firing stopped at 5pm, Bijoy Mahato (24) and Bhola Mahato (43), were found dead. Rakhal Rana (45) died later. The Police said they were “wanted” Maoists. Meanwhile, Indian Express quoting Police sources put the death toll at five. “We have recovered three bodies, but we believe at least five Maoists have been killed,” said Manoj Verma.

At least eight Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres were killed and several others injured in an encounter between the Maoist and joint forces in the West Midnapore District on June 16 (today), reports Times of India. The exchange of fire at Ranja forest near Lalgarh, around 30 kilometres from District headquarter Midnapore town, was still underway when reports last came in. West Midnapore Superintendent of Police Manoj Verma said there were three women among the eight dead and believed the toll could rise as several others, including top Maoist leaders, could have been seriously wounded. "Eight bodies have been recovered by the Police after daybreak. We have also seized a cache of arms that include an AK 47 assault rifle, an SLR, some pistols and ammunition," he said. Police believe the arms and ammunition were among those looted from Police armoury in the past.

The death toll increased to 12 in the encounter that occurred between the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres and joint forces in the West Midnapore District on June 16. Earlier, it was reported that eight Maoists were killed. "Twelve Maoists were killed by the joint forces. It is a major success. We found eight bodies. We have information that four of the bodies were carried away by Maoists while many more were injured," Director General of Police (DGP) Bhupinder Singh told reporters in Kolkata, according to PTI. "Acting on a tip off that 40 to 45 Maoists had gathered at Duli village near Ranja forest in Salboni Police Station area, a team of commandos and Special Forces of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and Police closed in," the DGP said., adding, "When the Maoists opened fire, the forces retaliated." The NDTV, however, put the death toll at 13. Police sources said that five of the eight Maoists killed were been identified as Arjun (a close associate of Maoist leaders Bikash and Tara), Sagen, Mala, Radha and Lakshmi (who is suspected to have played a major role during the massacre of 24 Eastern Frontier Rifles personnel at Silda on February 15), adds The Hindu. The sources said that based on intelligence inputs received from the Jharkhand Police, it was suspected that top Maoist leader Akash was also killed during the encounter. According to Police sources, the Security Forces had raided the area three days ago [June 13] also but the Maoists had managed to escape. Indian Express adds that the Maoist squad was led by Maoist State Committee member for Bengal-Jharkhand-Orissa region and ‘commander’ of the Lalgarh squad Bikash. He was said to have escaped, using his cadres as a shield. “It was to ensure Bikash’s safe passage that the Maoist squad took such heavy casualty,” said an unnamed security official involved in the operation. Maoist casualties confirmed that Bikash’s Lalgarh squad was joined by cadres from Jharkhand. One of the bodies found was that of Arjun Munda, a Jharkhand Maoist. Another was of Sagen Mahato, a Maoist from Lalgarh.

A group of 10 to 12 Maoists first raided the house of Chandicharan Singh Sardar, president of the Gitalaya village panchayat samiti (block level local self government institution). Upon not finding him there, the Maoists abducted his brother and local Forward Bloc leader Tapan Singh Sardar and killed him near the house. Chapala Garai was the sarpanch (president of gram panchayat, village level local self government institution) of Darda gram panchayat. Kinkar Singh was the Bloc secretary of the Forward Bloc while Gobardhan Singh was a Bloc member for 15 years. The victims were picked up from their homes at about 2 AM [IST] and shot at from close range in a field in the hilly village bordering Jharkhand, Superintendent of Police Sunil Kumar Chaudhuri said.

In another poster it was written: “Police torture of the public has to stop otherwise, extreme punishment will be given to Left Front leaders.”
