Two truck drivers associated with stone crushing factories were abducted by armed cadres of the Lamyanba Khuman group belonging to Military Council faction of the Kangleipak Communist Party (KCP) from the riverbed of Sekmai in Thoubal District on June 24, in connection with a monetary demand, according to Sangai Express. They were identified as Konsam Somen and Huirom Bishorjit. In protest against the abduction and demanding safe release of the drivers, members of Northern Valley Stone Crusher Owners’ Welfare Association and workers demonstrated at Pheidinga on June 26. According to general secretary of the Association Angom Boby said that there are over 20 stone crusher factories in and around Mantripukhri, Potsangbam and Sekmai area, and that the armed outfit has demanded INR 30,000 from each of these factories. Some days earlier, the same outfit had also abducted two other truck drivers, identified as Nadakishore and Mutum Rojit. However, they were released on June 14 after a large amount of money was paid to them, Boby further disclosed.

The Intelligence Bureau, in an alert, warned that at least seven places in Maharashtra - including a reputed bank in Mumbai and an important railway junction in Navi Mumbai - could be attacked, reports Times of India. The alert, dated July 8, also contains photographs of the seven targets. Officials said the alert was issued after a terror suspect was detained in Jammu and Kashmir and the Police recovered photographs of targets in Maharashtra from him. The colour pictures were reportedly sent to security agencies in Maharashtra by e-mail. “The photographs are genuine. They include the picture of a reputed bank near the Bombay high court, two railway stations in Mumbai and a railway station in Navi Mumbai,’’ an official said, adding that the Navi Mumbai station was not properly covered “security-wise’’. However, the alert did not specify the number of terrorists planning to enter Maharashtra and did not provide any information about possible local involvement. The fresh alert, officials said, also mentioned four dates on which the terrorists planned to carry out the strikes. This is the second alert in two weeks by central intelligence agencies. The first was issued on June 24—it said a 26/11-like terrorist attack could be repeated again via the sea route by the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT). Meanwhile, Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram had warned that Pakistan-based terrorists could launch another sea-borne attack despite the bad weather and choppy seas. While the minister did not give details, sources in the central intelligence agencies described the threat as specific and the most serious in two years. A massive coastal patrol was launched following that alert.

The Jharkhand unit of the outlawed Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has warned Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Union Minister of Home Affairs P. Chidambaram and the ruling United Progressive Alliance (UPA) Chairperson Sonia Gandhi against ‘‘dreaming to wipe out Naxalites from the country’’, saying if they don’t give up on their bid, all three would be eliminated, according to Times of India. The threat was issued through a letter originating in Garhwa District and is now in circulation in State capital Ranchi. Dated July 20 and numbered 25, the letter is signed by one Anupji “on behalf of Ghatshila sub-zonal committee.” The letter-head reads, “CPI (Maoist), Jharkhand State Central Committee” and is not addressed to anyone in particular. “Chidambaram says Naxalites would be wiped out... He should stop daydreaming or else he would be given death punishment,” the letter reads and dares him to come to the “land of Jharkhand” and see that “Naxalites are not clay toys.” The letter also threatens Prime Minister (PM) Manmohan Singh and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi, saying, "Both the PM and Sonia Gandhi will meet a fate like former prime minister, late Rajiv Gandhi," adds Indian Express. It asked all Congress legislators, both from the Parliament and Assembly, to quit within a week or face “death warrants.” However, the Superintendent of Police in East Singhbhum District, Navin Kumar Singh, said "I have not come across such a committee as of now," when asked whether Anupji operated in Ghatsilla sub-division which falls under East Singhbhum. "The letter could be fictitious and was found by someone in Balumath in Latehar District and was released in Garwah District in Jharkhand," he added. "The CPI (Maoist) is desperate after it was termed as a terrorist outfit. It just wants to gain mileage by issuing such press releases," another Police official involved in anti-Maoist operation in Jharkhand said, added Times of India.

Quoting an official source in the Home Department of Assam, Telegraph said an alert was announced about the plans of a 300-member group of youths to sneak into the State for carrying out subversive activities after being trained by Maoist rebels in Jharkhand over the past three years. An official in the Home Department said these youths, most of them members of an organisation ostensibly espousing the cause of farmers and also believed to be a frontal organisation of ULFA, had left Assam during 2006-2007. “Most of these youths are from areas where the organisation was active till a few months back. Now it is trying to form District-level committees throughout the state. Most of these youths are from Golaghat and Nagaon Districts. We have names of some of them who had disappeared since 2006. Some of these youths may have even been taking shelter in the Lalgarh area of West Bengal, which was till a few days back a stronghold of Maoist rebels,” the official said. He said there were reports of the ULFA striking a deal with the Maoists and that these trained youths had been assigned to carry out subversive activities in the State. “Ulfa has been trying since long to work together with the Maoist rebels operating in India, who have links with China,” the official added. Sources said the organisation had strong bases in the Doyang and Tengani areas of Golaghat District and Kaki in Nagaon District. “We also have information that arms for these youths may have already arrived in the state. We are keeping a close watch on these areas,” he added further.

Suspected Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres set ablaze the house of a farmer, Amiruddin Ansari, at Hriday Toli village under the Kisko Police station in the Lohardaga District at around 4am (IST) on July 28, reported Times of India. Villagers, however, doused the fire which gutted fodder kept in two rooms of the house. "No one saw who set the house on fire. But we have reasons to suspect MCC's hand in the incident," Amiruddin said. He said that about 15 days ago, the Maoist Communist Centre had sent him a letter demanding a sum of INR 2 lakh and five SIM cards. Besides, the extremists also sought a monthly payment of INR 5000. He also received several threat calls from a number 9504097082. The caller even inquired about his son’s Naushad Hussain's arrival. He said that his son, who is in Army, had recently come home on leave. Amiruddin said that the caller had asked him to deposit the levy and the SIM cards in the village school. The caller had also informed him about two fellow villagers who make a monthly payment of INR 5000 to the outfit through the school. Kisko police station in-charge Sunil Kumar Tiwari, however, said Police is scanning the contents of the letter, adding, "It seems that the letter has been issued either by some enemies of Amiruddin or by the local criminals."

The Maoists raided the SPML plant at Hariondhi village and damaged pay loaders and three trucks, the Additional Director General (Headquarters) Neelmani said. The Maoists also set ablaze six vans and damaged the store where construction materials were kept. Neelmani said though Special Task Force personnel, assisted by district-armed policemen, engaged the Maoists in an encounter for some time, the extremists managed to escape into the thick forest lining the Jamui-Chakai Road. During the exchange of fire between Police and Maoists that went on for about half an hour, two of the abducted guards managed to slip away. The other six were taken away by the Maoists, who threatened the company with dire consequences if it did not pay levy. The non-payment of levy demanded by the Maoists from the private firm owner was allegedly the reason for the attack, the officer added. Meanwhile, sources said SPML has suffered losses worth INR 2 crore in the Maoist attack. PTI reports that over 400 Maoists were involved in the attack.

According to The Hindu, Security Forces (SFs) were put on high alert in Chennai and its suburbs since the night of October 22 following a letter received at the Adyar Police Station that warned of attacks on important targets. Though the letter did not specify any date or time for an attack, it named the Tamil Nadu Police Academy, Chennai Airport, Officers Training Academy and the "American Embassy" (U.S. Consulate) among others as its targets and challenged the Police to avert the sabotage if they could, Police sources said. According to a source in the intelligence wing of the Police, the letter also listed T. Nagar, Ritchie Street and the Marina beach as possible areas of attack. It warned of an RDX explosion at the Chennai Central Railway Station. However, an official of a United Nations agency based in New Delhi communicated to the Tamil Nadu Police a similar threat perception, based on inputs that were received by the agency. The Chennai Police, meanwhile, enhanced surveillance and manpower deployment at vulnerable places as part of ‘Standard Operating Procedure’. "It could be a prank… but we are not taking any chances. Anti-sabotage checks are being conducted at vantage points and police presence has been stepped up in areas of public gathering," Commissioner of Police T. Rajendran said on October 23.

Following seizures of huge cache of arms and explosives in Patna, Gaya, Munger and Bokaro (Jharkhand) by the Bihar Police in recent weeks, the Communist party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has threatened to carry out bloody reprisals against the kin of officers, ministers and politicians, reports Times of India. A two-page statement issued on November 18 in the name of Gopal, spokesperson of the Bihar-Jharkhand-Orissa and Chhattisgarh Special Area Committee of the CPI-Maoist, said the arms and explosives seized by the Police were all basically meant to protect the defenceless people against the fresh wave of State repression. "Putting national sovereignty to ransom, the UPA [United Progressive Alliance] Government at the Centre was playing second fiddle to imperialist masters led by the USA and the Indian masses are groaning under the yoke of a thoroughly degenerated politician-police-bureaucrat nexus", it said. Charging the Bihar Police with letting loose a reign of repression against the kin of a top Maoist leader Arvind Kumar and his aide Subodh Kumar at Shukulchak village in Jehanabad, it said if the repressive action against them is not stopped forthwith, its People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) are ready to give a befitting reply. Regarding the recovery from the houses of Prabhat and Prince located in Patna, it stated it is a "white lie" as both of them are earning their livelihood on their own and have absolutely nothing to do with the CPI-Maoist. The CPI-Maoist warned "if police feel elated at the recent seizures, they should also prepare themselves mentally to shed tears sooner than expected".

Telegraph reports that the Communist party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres killed a deputy forest ranger after abducting him in the night of November 27 from Deobhog in Raipur District. According to Police sources, the victim had been identified as Gokul Tandi, who was posted in Indagaon forest range of Deobhog development block. Around 11.30pm (IST) on November 27, he received a phone call that a group was illegally cutting trees in the forests. Tandi, along with four forest guards, started for the spot. “As they entered the forests, about 12-15 armed Maoists intercepted them and took them into custody,” Deobhog Police Officer T.R. Nagwanshi said. They released the guards after threatening not to inform the Police and took the official into dense forest.

A Government high school at Tiskopi under Gomia Police Station in Bokaro District was blown up late in the night of December 17, reports Times of India. Though 10 rooms of the school were damaged, there were no casualties reported. As many as seven blasts were triggered by the Maoists to demolish the school building. Sources said Maoists had earlier threatened the school management to stop allowing Security Force (SF) personnel, who used the school as camps during the anti-Maoist operations, to stay there. Still, the SFs again camped at the school for the third phase of the Assembly election that concluded on December 8. After they left the building a couple of days back, 50 armed Maoists came to the school at around 11pm (IST) and detonated the landmines. Before leaving, they put up posters on the walls of the school, describing the explosion as revenge taken by them against Police personnel using schools as a camp. Another school was blown up in the Kawal village of Palamau District. Maoists also blew up a small bridge near Kahkula and Seriyar villages in the same District.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres have started threatening gram pradhans (village heads) and chowkidars (guards) with dire consequences if any member of the CPI-Maoist outfit is arrested or if police raid their hideouts, reports Times of India. The Maoists through posters put up at several villages under Shikaripara block (administrative division) of Dumka District, have threatened that village heads and chowkidars would be killed under the above-mentioned circumstances for being Police informers. Maoist posters were seen at various places in the three villages of Haripur, Maluti and Pinargarhia, which are considered to be Maoist strongholds. The CP-Maoist move to declare punitive action against the village heads and chowkidars is being viewed here as its modus operandi to persuade them to convince the common villagers being in regular touch to refrain from being Police informers by holding them directly responsible in case of an arrest or any other move by Police against it.
