Fourcadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) were killed in the morning of February 19 (today) following a nine-hour encounter with Security Forces (SFs) in the Taimara valley on NH-33 in Ranchi District and four firearms were seized, Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) Inspector General (IG) Rakesh Kumar Mishra confirmed, reports Times of India. The police have recovered four dead bodies and a process to identify them is on. All the four dead Maoists were in Maoist fatigue. Two CRPF troopers were injured in the initial hours of encounter.The operation began on specific inputs around 9 pm in the night of February 18. Ranchi Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Kuldeep Dwivedi, who led the operations, said intermittent firing continued throughout the night. "The Maoists, around 40 in number, were led by two top commanders. It was a strong team which engaged the cops in the operation all through the night," Dwivedi, who camped in the valley at night, stated. Dwivedi said police had information that a group of Maoists were passing through Ghaghrabera village in the valley and that an ambush was laid. "The Maoists opened fire on our team when cops asked them to lay down arms. The forces retaliated very strongly," the SSP said. The Maoists were going to a safe place when they were ambushed. One of the slain Maoists is a woman. "Two of them were carrying SLR. It suggests that they enjoyed a higher rank in the outfit," IG Mishra said. The Maoists were led by central committee member Vivekji and Mithileshji. "It is not known if the slain Maoists include any of the two or none," an unnamed Police officer said. Dileep Singh, assistant commandant CRPF, said other Maoists managed to escape after putting up a strong resistance. Two company CRPF, one SSB company and district police were part of the operation team.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres have allegedly killed four villagers in Narayanpur District, reports The Times of India on March 1. Superintendent of Police (SP), Narayanpur District, Abhishek Meena informed that Police have begun investigation after they received information about the incident. "We have yet to get the exact number of villagers being killed by Naxals since the area from where killings were reported is deep inside Abujmarh forests, more than 50 kms away from any of police camps and the area is highly Naxal infested," added the SP. According to the SP, Police received information that Maoists have thrown bodies of four villagers on road after killing them. Commenting on the source of information, he said that local level intelligence has confirmed the killings by Maoists in past one week. He also added that there is no way to go inside the village and recover the bodies.

Three Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres were killed in an encounter with the Security Force (SF) personnel in Narayanpur District on March 29, reports The Hindu. "A joint operation, with forces numbering around 700 comprising the District Reserve Guard, the Special Task Force, the Indo-Tibetan Border Force and the Chhattisgarh Armed Force, was planned in Narayanpur district today (Tuesday) morning. At around 9.30 am, when the parties were searching their target areas in Sulenga Tirkanar forest under Dhaurai police station limits, the Maoists opened heavy firing on them. Our men took a position and retaliated with heavy fire and forced the Maoists to flee from the spot. Our parties followed the Maoists up to three kilometers inside the forest but the ultras managed to run away taking advantage of thick forest. Three dead bodies of uniformed Maoists were found after searching the area," Bastar range Inspector General of Police (IGP), S.R.P. Kalluri said in a statement.

Sevenjawans (troopers) of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) were killed in a landmine explosion triggered by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) in Dantewada District on March 30, reports The Hindu. “A vehicle of the CRPF’s 230th battalion was blown up by Maoists near the Malewara market on the Dantewada-Sukma road around 3 p.m. Seven jawans were martyred in the blast,” said Dinesh Pratap Upadhyay, Deputy Inspector General (DIG), CRPF, Dantewada Range. The blast left a five-foot crater and blew the Tata 407 vehicle into pieces. “The jawans belonged to the Ghusaras CRPF camp in Dantewada and were returning after leave for Holi,” Dantewada Superintendent of Police (SP) Kamlochan Kashyap said. The Maoists also had brought some people carrying traditional weapons, possibly to snatch the weapons from the CRPF men. However, source confirmed that all seven troopers belonged to the “non-combat” staff and were carrying no weapons with them. Upadhyay added “The blast was so powerful that the bodies were thrown 100-150 metres away. Almost all of them might have died in the explosion or would have been on the verge of death. But it is true that Maoists shot some of the bodies.” The deceased troopers were identified as Sub-Inspector D. Vijay Raj, Constables Pradeep Tirkey, Rupnarayan Das, Devendra Chourasia, Ranjan Dash and Mritunjoy Mukharjee and driver Saindane Nana Usesing.

ThreeCommunist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres, including a ‘Commander’, were killed while planting bomb in Koyaliberda area in Kanker District during the Dandakaranya bandh (shut down strike) called by the CPI-Maoist on April 15, reports The Times of India.

Threepersons were killed and four others were injured when a band of Left-Wing Extremist (LWE) group, People’s Liberation Front of India (PLFI), opened random fire at a gathering in a village in Khunti District late on September 26, reports Indian Express. Following the incident, the Police and the Central Reserve Police Force (CPRF) have launched a massive manhunt in the Naxal-dominated region. The Police said that the PLFI targeted people on the suspicion that they were holding a ‘peace meeting’. Villagers in Naxal-hit Districts of Khunti, Ranchi and West Singhbhum (Chaibasa) have been holding peace meetings for over a year, in which they urge people to shun violence and return to the mainstream. Officials said that, although the meeting was not a peace meeting, the attack on hapless villagers was among the biggest incidents by the LWE groups against such initiatives. Police sources said that peace meetings are usually attended by people from more than a couple of villages. The dead have been identified as Deet Munda (45), Raukan Purti (62), and Sukhram Munda (50). The four injured persons - Vikram Purti, Paku Purti, Toto Purti and Sinu Munda. Superintendent of Police (SP) of Khunti, Anish Gupta said: “This is clearly to spread terror. The extremist groups are losing their hold on the region and this appears to be an act of panic on their part. The villagers, prima facie, were not holding any peace meeting. We have launched a manhunt and combing operations are on.” The incident came to light when villagers of Raitorang brought the dead and the injured to the Sadar Hospital in Khunti. PLFI is a splinter group of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist).
