A Ranchi court in Jharkhand on May 4, granted bail to Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) top cadre Kundan Pahan, in connection with a 2009 encounter between Security Forces (SFs) and CPI-Maoist cadres at Lali village in Namkum, citing lack of evidence against the surrendered rebel, reports The Pioneer. The court of Justice SK Singh, after listening to statements of nine witnesses from the prosecution and four witnesses from defendants, decided to grant bail to Pahan in the case as there was lack of evidence proving his involvement in the encounter. Pahan, however, will continue to serve imprisonment for other cases, in which he was found guilty. One of the most wanted rebels in Jharkhand for nearly two decades, Pahan faces charges in at least 128 cases, including beheading of Special Branch officer Francis Induwar and assassination of former minister Ramesh Singh Munda. He is also accused of looting INR 55 million from a private bank on National Highway 33. Police had named Pahan and seven others in the 2009 encounter at Lali village under Namkum police station in Ranchi. The other seven have already been granted bail in the case. Pahan officially surrendered under the Maoist surrender cum rehabilitation scheme of the State Government on May 15, 2017 at the State police headquarters in Ranchi.

Accused discussed logistics, execution of attacks in Bastar of Chhattisgarh and Gadchiroli in Maharashtra with Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), says prosecution in Elgar Parishad case, reports The Indian Express on May 9. The prosecution has claimed that the “emails” are addressed to Comrade Surendra, a name denoting lawyer Surendra Gadling and activists Varavara Rao and Rona Wilson, who are among the 23 accused in the case.The accused in the ElgaarParishad case and some “underground Maoists” discussed the execution and logistical arrangements for carrying out Maoist attacks in Bastar and Gadchiroli, the prosecution claimed in a special court in Pune on May 8, while quoting purported emails between the two parties. The emails also included plans for arranging weapons and future attacks, said the prosecution.District Government Pleader UjjwalaPawar read out parts of the purported communication by alleged underground Maoists including Comrade Prakash, Comrade Sudarshan and Comrade Milind. The prosecution has claimed that the “emails” are addressed to Comrade Surendra, a name denoting lawyer Surendra Gadling and activists Varavara Rao and Rona Wilson, who are among the 23 accused in the case.“These emails, which have been written over 2016 and 2017, are about the arrangement of funding, logistics, weapons, mobilisation of Maoist cadre for Naxal attacks in areas like Bastar and Gadchiroli… thus showing that these accused are not only members of the banned CPI-Maoist but have been actively involved in execution of terrorist activities in Maoist-infested areas.” Pawar said while concluding her arguments.
