The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) Politburo member Mallojula Koteshwar Rao alias Kishanji, the man who controlled Maoist operations in eastern India, was cornered and killed in a massive security operation after a two-hour gun battle in Kushaboni forest in Jhargram on the West Bengal-Jharkhand border in West Midnapore District on November 24, reports The Times of India. The recovery of Kishanji's AK-47 rifle and a hearing aid, the CPI-Maoist politburo member is known to have been using, lent heft to the claim that the yet unclaimed body was that of Kishanji. But officials said they needed to close a one percent gap to make a formal announcement. "Most likely it is Kishanji. The officers on the spot said it is Kishanji and most likely, 99%, it is Kishanji," said Union Home secretary R K Singh. "We have said we have to be certain before we declare." The operation that netted Kishanji, who has repeatedly eluded such dragnets in the past three years, began in the night of November 22. It culminated in one of the biggest and fiercest battles in Jungle Mahal with some 500 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel and anti-Maoist commandos, backed by local policemen, taking on 150-odd Maoist cadres. Thousands of rounds were fired in the Kushaboni forest in Jhargram, 200 kilometres west of Kolkata. After the gun battle stopped CRPF commandos quickly moved in and found a body closely resembling Kishanji. Three more bodies were also found. The Security Forces were still searching for Kishanji’s trusted aide Suchitra Mahato, wife of slain Maoist leader Sashadhar Mahato, who was with him during the encounter and is believed to be injured in the encounter.
