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.

About 70 CRPF personnel were conducting a Road Opening Operation (ROP) on foot on the Narayanpur-Orcha road when the attack occurred. At least two critically injured Policemen were evacuated to Jagdalpur by helicopter. Sources said the attack took place near a hilly stretch known as the Jhadha Ghati, three kilometres from Dhudhai. According to a PTI report, Maoist fighters opened fire from a hilltop as the soldiers were returning from their patrol. “A large number of Maoist fighters surrounded the rear section of the CRPF party and opened fire,” said a source. The Narayanpur-Orcha road is considered the gateway to Abujhmad, a 4000-square kilometre forested area that has been declared a “liberated zone” by the Maoists. Local journalists in Narayanpur said the attack occurred in the backdrop of a two-day five-state bandh (shut down) beginning June 30 (today) called by the Maoists.
