Three constables of the Orissa Police were killed and as many injured when Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres triggered a landmine blast at Badarpanga village in the Kotagarh area in Kandhamal District in the morning of January 5, reports Indian Express. The landmine went off when the team with two trained dogs was proceeding in a vehicle on Kotagarh-Srirampur road to the site of the blast that had taken place on January 4 in the area, State Home Secretary UN Behera told reporters, adds DNA. The blast came on the second day of the two-day bandh (shut down strike) called by the Maoists to protest the recent Police arrests and attacks on Maoists during Operation Saranda to flush them out of the forests on the Odisha-Jharkhand border. The deceased are identified as Sunasir Mohanty, Umakant Jani and Sangram Lenka. The three injured were identified as Noha Panda, Basanta Behera and Padmanav Dehuri.

The deceased were all men, aged 20-30 years, except one who was aged over 50, the Police said. The cause of their death was not known, said Tamil Vanan, Khunti Superintendent of Police, but there was speculation over involvement of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), since the area has a strong Naxal (Left-Wing Extremism) presence. “The Maoists identified them as police informers and killed them,” said a villager on condition of anonymity.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) triggered a landmine blast to blow up an armoured vehicle, killing 13 Police personnel on board in a forest of Garhwa District bordering Chhattisgarh, on January 21, reports The Telegraph. Led by Officer-in Charge of Bhandaria Police Station Rajbali Chowdhary, troopers of VII battalion of Jharkhand Armed Police (JAP) were accompanying local Block Development Officer (BDO) Vasudev Prasad and Garhwa zilla parishad (district level local self government institution) chairperson Shushma Mehta, who were on way to Bargarh village in separate cars to resolve a dispute over a health centre due to which villagers were observing a shutdown. Vasudev, whose vehicle was ahead of the armoured van carrying the Policemen, survived the attack. “Thirteen Policemen, including Officer-in Charge of Bhandaria Police Station, have died. The rebels took away 11 INSAS rifles, one SLR and two AK 47 rifles from the Security Forces,” said State Police spokesperson and Inspector General (Provision) RK Mallick, adds Daily Pioneer. Mehta and her bodyguard were kept hostage for some time, while they were passing by the spot. Later, Maoists released Mehta after snatching the pistol of her bodyguard. According to information as many as 50 – 60 armed Maoists were involved in the attack that lasted for nearly 30 minutes. Chief Minister Arjun Munda, who was in Gumla, said the Maoists attack was an act of cowardice. “They killed innocent Policemen by planning an ambush. So far reports of 13 deaths have been confirmed,” he said.

Three Policemen, including an Assistant Sub-Inspector, were killed and five others got injured when Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres triggered a landmine blast near an under-construction diversion on National Highway-99 close to Balumath Police Station in Latehar District around 6pm on February 1, reports The Times of India. The Policemen were going in two jeeps from Chandwa to Balumath, around 75 kilometres from Ranchi. Since it was dark and the Maoists continued to fire at regular intervals it was difficult for the Security Forces (SFs) to launch a rescue operation. The condition of one of the injured is said to be serious.

Four personnel of the Border Security Force (BSF) including a commandant were killed in an ambush by the cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) in Malkangiri District on February 10.

Sixteen cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) were killed and six Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) troopers were injured after a fierce encounter which took place in the forests of Silger, a “liberated” Maoist zone between Jagargunda and Basaguda in Dantewada District in the night of June 28, reports The Hindu. The operation was launched by the CRPF from three directions. Two Maoists were arrested after the encounter. The encounter is significant, as this is the first time that the CRPF has recovered these many bodies of Maoists. The arrested Maoists have been airlifted to Raipur. Official sources said six CRPF men, including two commandos of Commando Battalion for Rapid Action (CoBRA), sustained bullet injuries and they have been airlifted for medical aid. Preliminary reports suggest that the casualty figures of the Maoists could increase as information from deep inside the forests is trickling in slowly. This is the same area, close to Chintalnar, where Maoists had carried out the biggest ever attack on Security Forces killing 75 CRPF men and one State police personnel in April 2010.

Three months after Sabyasachi Panda was expelled from the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), five cadres of the Panda-led Odisha Maovadi Party (OMP), were killed and a few others were injured during an encounter in Gajapati District on November 14, reports The Times of India. Two Security Force (SF) personnel also sustained injuries in the encounter. The gun-battle took place at Bhaliagada forest in Gobindpur Panchayat area under Mohana Police Station limits of Gajapati District bordering Ganjam District around 11 am when a police patrolling party came across a Maoist camp where Panda and around 15 of his associates were present, police said. "The Maoists opened fire and our men retaliated likewise. The gun-battle continued for an hour. We have recovered five bodies (all male) from the spot," Director General of Police (DGP) Prakash Mishra said. "Their identities are yet to be ascertained, but we believe they were from Kandhamal and Gajapati Districts and indoctrinated in the Maoist ideology," he added. Police said the blood trail from spot of encounter to the jungle suggested that some of the extremists were injured. "We have seized an Italian-make pistol, which is supposed to be Panda's personal weapon. This forces us to suspect he was present during the gun-battle and could be injured as well," a senior Police officer said. Superintendent of Police (SP) (Ganjam) Ashish Singh said Police have seized four country-made guns, two 9 mm pistols, around 80 kg of explosives and 35 rounds of live cartridges from the spot. Commenting on the incident, DGP Mishra said "We have specific information that he (Panda) was for a big build-up. Reports say his group strength has increased to 27. He has been recruiting people to the group," adds The Business Standard. Further, according to Press Trust of India, another cadre was arrested following the encounter.
