The mukhiya (village headman) of Jargo panchayat (village level local self government institution) in Tamar block in Ranchi District, Jeevan Singh Munda (38), was dragged out of his home by unidentified assailants, masquerading as Police, and shot dead on December 11, reports The Telegraph. Communist party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) posters found near his body read that Munda was being "punished for being a Police informer" and others should learn a lesson from his death. The forested spot where the mukhiya's body was found is 25 kilometres from Tamar thana (Police Station) and around 80 kilometres from the State capital, Ranchi. An unnamed local resident claimed that Munda was once a Maoist sympathizer, adding, "But, he parted ways with the rebels three years ago and entered mainstream politics. Currently, he did not have any political affiliation and facilitated construction of rural roads to help Police movement in the area." Rural Superintendent of Police (SP), Raj Kumar Lakra said, "Four Maoist posters found near his body said he had paid the price for being a police informer. But, there is nothing on record to prove that the deceased was an informer. We are also not aware of his past Maoist links."Meanwhile, acting on a tip-off by local residents, Police recovered a huge cache of 120 Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), two cylinder bombs, weighing five kilograms each, and 200 metres of codex wire, used in landmine blasts, from a Maoist hideout in Barwaiya forests of Manika in Latehar District on December 11, reports The Telegraph. The explosives were found hidden underneath rocks atop a hillock in the dense forests. Latehar, SP, Anoop Birtharay said the explosives belonged to the Maoist squad of ‘sub-zonal commander’ Shravan Yadav who carried a reward of INR 500,000 on his head. "At present, he has been located in Gaya district of neighbouring Bihar. Almost all Maoist squads have fled the district following recent search operations but they have sympathisers who extend them logistic support," said SP, Birtharay. Sharing the credit of the recovery with the villagers, he said it was an outcome of community policing. "I regularly visit the remote villages and introduce community policing there," added SP, Birtharay.
