Acceding to The Times of India, a woman was leading the attack on Security Force (SF) personnel at Karmatiya forest in Latehar Distinct of Jharkhand that killed 11 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) troopers on January 7. Two Maoists were also killed in return fire on January 7 and 16 SF personnel were injured. The Maoists on January 8 killed two civilians taking the death toll to 15. Combing operation was intensified following the second attack. The two civilians were killed and one critically injured when bombs exploded on Tuesday afternoon during search for more bodies inside the forest, said Latehar Superintendent of Police (SP) Kranti Kumar Garhdeshi. The Maoists had planted the bombs inside the dead bodies, which were ripped to pieces the moment the search team tried to recover them. The Latehar SP said the civilians were killed while they were accompanying Police personnel. Around 300 CRPF and Jharkhand Jaguar personnel treaded deep into the Karmatiya jungles, about 250km from Ranchi as part of a combing operation when Maoists started indiscriminate firing from tree tops and hills.

The interstate offensive was prompted by a tip-off that an armed squad of Maoists had sneaked into Patamda’s Meghda Pahar from Purulia District of West Bengal following an offensive there on February 25. According to Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Akhilesh Kumar Jha, who is leading the operation, Jharkhand has pressed into action six companies of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and one company of Special Task Force (STF).
