Seven Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) troopers were killed and 12 critically injured in an encounter with the Communist Party of India-(Maoist) cadres at Karmatiya forests of Latehar District of Jharkhand on January 7, reports The Times of India. Two Maoists were also killed, the Police said quoting villagers. Hundreds of Maoists ambushed 200-odd troopers patrolling the forest around 10.30am, in what is being seen as a possible retaliation to ‘Operation Anaconda-II’ in Saranda forests. In the gun-battle, which went on for more than eight hours, several Police personnel were critically injured, two of whom belong to Jharkhand Jaguar. The encounter ended around 8 pm. Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG), Palamu range, Praveen Singh confirmed the deaths. Six companies of CRPF and two of Jharkhand Jaguar were combing the Karmatiya jungles when the ambush took place. According to Jharkhand Police figures, a total of 24 persons were killed in Latehar in 2011 by the Maoists. The Indian Express, however, reported that one Jharkhand Jaguar Special Task Force Policeman was shot dead by Maoists and three CRPF troopers were missing. The Maoist group involved in the encounter is believed to have been headed by Arvind, an important leader thought to be holed up in the area for the past 25 days. The CRPF had been camping there since December 20, 2012, to try and capture him. The encounter, named ‘Operation Saamna’, involved about 220 CRPF and some Jharkhand Police personnel. Officials claimed at least four Maoists were killed, but no bodies have been recovered.

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. Over 600 Maoists, led by senior leaders, were present in the Latehar jungles and around 30 of them have been injured. CPI-Maoist central committee member Arvind was the leader behind the attacks, said Police sources. Many of the Maoists were dressed like SF personnel.
