On January 1, seven Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel and a civilian were killed in a pre-dawn terrorist attack on the para-military CRPF Group Centre at Rampur in Uttar Pradesh, reports The Hindu. Three more CRPF personnel, a civil police personnel and a home guard were injured in the attack. The Uttar Pradesh Principal Secretary J.N. Chamber said that the attack was carried out around 2.45 am (IST) by two suspected fidayeen (suicide squad) dressed as CRPF constables. They breached the outer security (which is the responsibility of the police), and started firing indiscriminately from AK-47 rifles on the security post, the guard room and the control room. The terrorists subsequently escaped under cover of darkness although unconfirmed reports said one of them was hit in the leg when the CRPF personnel opened fire in retaliation. Although no outfit has claimed responsibility for the attack, police and security agencies suspect that the attack was carried out by the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT).

Six policemen, two Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres and a civilian were killed in an exchange of fire after Maoists carried out an attack on the policemen who had come for a routine inspection of a branch of the Punjab National Bank at the Raniganj village in the Gaya district on August 21 noon, reports Times of India. The Maoists, numbering nearly 12, also looted five self-loading rifles of the policemen. Five of the slain policemen belonged to the Special Auxiliary Police, a special force comprising ex-Army personnel created by the Bihar Government to combat the left-wing extremists. The other policeman was identified as S N Singh, an Assistant Sub-Inspector. Magadh range Deputy Inspector General of Police Praveen Bashist said the extremists had positioned themselves at strategic points near the bank and opened fire on the policemen the moment they got down from the jeep, giving them little time to react. The Maoists left behind one of the motorcycles used in the operation. They also left behind a handwritten leaflet, saying the operation was aimed at police to avenge atrocities by them.
