Telegraph reports that during a joint operation, a special task force (STF) team and District Police personnel shot dead a ‘sub-zonal commander’ of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), identified as Babulal Munda alias Marandi, also known as Raman, and four other cadres in the evening of January 4 in the Baish Resham forest area, nearly 30 kilometres from the Hazaribagh District headquarters. The encounter took place when the Security Forces reached the Baish Resham forest area where the Maoists were holding a meeting. Hazaribagh Superintendent of Police Pankaj Kamboj confirmed the exchange of fire and admitted recovery of the body of the killed extremist. Few other bodies, however, were taken away by the extremists who had escaped taking advantage of the poor visibility condition in the evening, Kamboj said.

According to him, the CPI-Maoist cadres are increasingly targeting Policemen and SPOs in Bijapur District "out of desperation." He added: "They are selectively killing Police and SPOs to create a reign of terror in the District as we have eliminated 11 hardcore Naxalites (left-wing extremists) in recent months."

The explosion coincided with a bandh (shut down) called by the CPI-Maoist in Gumla, Simdega, Latehar, Lohardaga and Ranchi Districts in protest against Bhuiyan's arrest.

15 Police personnel, including a Sub-Inspector, were killed by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres when a patrolling party visited the forest area of Morke village in the Gadchichiroli District on February 1, Pioneer reported. The report adds that "seven to eight" Maoists were also subsequently killed during the encounter with the Police that followed the ambush. However, the Police have not recovered the bodies of slain Maoists. The Additional Director General of Police (Anti-Naxal Operations) Pankaj Gupta said, "The encounter began at IST 10.50 am. It lasted for more than one and half hours. Fifteen of our people, including a sub-inspector, were killed in the encounter. I cannot say for sure as to how many Maoists were killed in the encounter. But, my guess is that seven to eight Maoists were killed in the encounter. We have not been able to lay hands on the bodies of the Maoists. Normally in this kind of situation, what Maoists do is that they drag away the bodies once their men are killed in the encounters."

At least 10 Policemen, including some from the Special Auxiliary Police (SAP), were killed when more than 150 armed Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres launched a surprise attack on the Security Force personnel who were providing security at a function at Ravidas Ashram in the Mahuliatand village of Nawada District in the afternoon of February 9, Patna Daily reported. The Additional Director General of Police, Neelmani, said, "When an 18-member Police team led by Ram reached the village, Maoist guerillas suddenly attacked and shot them dead. The incident happened in a remote area. Therefore, the final figure can only be available once the top Police officials reach the spot with reinforcements. An intensive operation has been launched against Maoists in Districts bordering neighboring Jharkhand." There is no report of civilian being killed, he added. The Maoists subsequently fled with the arms and ammunition of the slain Policemen. The Police later launched a combing operation at the Bihar-Jharkhand State border.

According to the Additional Director General of Police, Pankaj Gupta, "The heavily armed Naxals (left-wing extremists) were in advantageous position in the hilly terrain. Commander Thakur's experience came handy in the crisis situation. The Naxals were tackled in a strategic manner by using the ammunition judiciously. Thakur ensured that the commandos advanced and try to corner the Naxals. The Naxals had rained bullets and also hurled mortars at the commandos. One of the commandos lost his life while trying to prevent the Naxals from fleeing with the bodies of their slain colleagues."
