The family of a 19-year-old German boy, identified as Ali Mohammad Din, who had gone missing on February 7, 2015, in Faisalabad Districts negotiating with a group of militants based in Afghanistan to seek his return, reported Dawn on April 3 (today). The militants, affiliated with Amarat Islami in Afghanistan, conveyed to the family that Ali had joined them for jihad (holy war) and would join the Islamic State (IS/also known as ISIS) in a couple of weeks. They said they had no affiliation with the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). Ali was born in Libya and he had been living with his family in Germany for 10 the last years. He came to Faisalabad on January 8, 2015, for the first time. Some relatives of Ali said they had talked to a representative of the militants who identified himself as Qari Ibrahim a number of times with a request to send Ali home. But Qari said they had no such tradition. “How can we send Ali back if he wants to join IS,” the family quoted Qari as saying. The family is not ready to believe that Ali, who does not even know how to offer payers, can take such a step. “Handlers of the militants abducted Ali for money. He was carrying 500 Euros, PKR 20,000, a mobile phone and a visa card when he was kidnapped on February 7,” a relative of Ali said.

Hundreds of villagers in Bijapur District carried out a “silent march” on April 9 and appealed to the Maoists to release the abducted Police constable Bira Basant, reports The Hindu. When Bira Basant, who was posted in Awapalli police station of Bijapur, was travelling in a bus to his village Madded on April 7, some Maoists stopped a passenger bus and abducted him. Appalled over the abduction of a Tribal cop, hundreds of villagers along with schoolchildren and local traders joined the “silent march” and appealed the Maoists to “release our Tribal brother”. Bira was unarmed when the Maoists abducted him. However, there was no report about Mr. Bira’s whereabouts and an attempt by some local journalists to snick into the forest in his search was fruitless.

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres allegedly abducted seven tribals, including a former panchayat samiti (block-level local self government institution) chairperson, from two remote villages under Mathili Police Station in Malkangiri District of Odisha near Chhattisgarh border around midnight on April 13, reports The Hindu. According to sources, six persons from Kartanpalli including Trinath Bhumia, the former panchayat samiti chairperson of Mathili block and another from adjoining Bara village were abducted by the Maoists. But no complaint regarding it from their family members or anyone else had been filed with the police till the evening of April 14. Maoists have also not come up with any statement regarding these abductions till the evening.

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres from Chhattisgarh who had reportedly abducted 11 people including a former chairman of a panchayat samiti (block-level local self government institution) in Malkangiri District in the night of April 14, released all of them by the evening of April 16, reports The Indian Express. Though initial reports said only 7 people were abducted, later it was found 4 more people too were picked up by Maoists. Over 20 Maoists from Darbha ghati led by their leader Vinod Kashyap had abducted people from Kartanpalli, Barha and a few other villages under Mathili panchayat samiti of Malkangiri District on Orissa-Chhatisgarh border. Among those abducted included former chairman of panchayat samiti Trinath Bhumia. Neither any of family members of the abducted persons nor any other villager had lodged a complaint with the Police. The villages from where Maoists abducted the people are very near to Darbha ghati of Sukma District (Chhattisgarh). While Bhumia of Kartanpalli and Bonduku Golar of Barha village were released a little earlier, the rest 9 were let off after the Maoists held a Praja court (kangaroo court) where they thrashed three including the local sarpanch for ‘helping the police’. The villagers were warned of the dire consequences of helping the police. Odisha Director General of Police (DGP) Sanjiv Marik said all the 11 people have been released. “But it’s hard to say if these people were abducted as they are Maoist sympathisers. A few of them are former militias of the Maoists. We would interrogate the 11 to find out the truth,” said Marik. Police officials said the ‘abduction’ could be a Maoist tactic to terrorise the tribals on not giving any information to Police. Since last month, the Police and central paramilitary officials have started a poster campaign in Mathili and other interior areas of Malkangiri bordering Chhattisgarh with pictures of some top Maoist leaders like Ramakrishna, Katakam Sudarshan and Jinugu Narsimha Reddy urging people to contact their nearest Police camp to inform the whereabouts of the Maoist leaders.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), which has stepped up its activity after the Andhra Pradesh (A.P.) Government made its intention clear to exploit bauxite in the Visakha Agency, abducted three Telugu Desam Party (TDP) members of G.K. Veedhi mandal (administrative unit) from their houses in Kothaguda village in the evening of October 5. The three are TDP mandal party president Mamidi Balayya Padal, senior leader Vandalam Balayya and District committee member Mukkala Mahesh. The group involved in the abduction was reportedly led by a senior leader and Andhra Odisha Border Special Zonal Committee (AOBSZC) spokesman Chalapathi. A warning letter was sent to the TDP leaders next day (October 6) morning saying that they would pay a heavy price if the Government failed to announce winding up of plans for bauxite mining within a week. The letter was accompanied by an appeal by the victims to the Government to stop mining plans else their lives would be in peril, they said. The Maoists also demanded the party leaders immediately quit their posts and primary membership of the party and join the people’s movement against bauxite mining. Combing by the Police, arrests and establishment of camps, which are all meant to facilitate bauxite mining, should be stopped, they said. The Maoists are making their presence felt in spite of intensive combing by the Police and Central Reserve Police Force (CPRF) and the Police say cadres from outside A.P. are crossing the border.

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres killed a 20-year-girl, identified as Sanjeeta Kumari, whose blood-stained body was found near the hills of Gumla in Jharkhand. Kumari, who also went by the name of Guddi, was lured into the outlaw group when she was 11 by a neighbour and transformed from a cook into a crack shot, serving under the Maoist banner for eight years, before she decided to return to mainstream. The 20-year-old ran away from the rebels and went into hiding in Gumla, where she rented a house and enrolled herself at a local school but the outlaws continued to threaten her regularly. When Hindustantimes (HT) met her on July 28, Guddi recounted chilling tales of the looming threat to her life but said she was committed to her studies and wouldn’t return to the extremist fold under any condition. “I cannot surrender because the moment my leaders come to know, they will kill my parents and siblings,” she told HT, on the condition that her story wouldn’t be published. “I will be able to study as long as I am not identified and captured or my bosses in the jungle do not take me away forcibly,” she said. When she went home to see her parents and siblings in the Maoist-infested village of Sibil on October 6, she was abducted by the insurgents, who left a handwritten note saying Guddi had to die because she didn’t mend her ways despite several warnings.

Shankar Wadde (30), working as Special Police Officer (SPO), was shot dead outside Mallumpodur village in Bhamragarh tehsil (revenue unit) in Gadchiroli District of Maharashtra by cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) who had earlier abducted him on October 6 from his home. The villagers were stunned to spot Wadde's body outside the hamlet laid along the roadside on October 9. In the past too, Wadde was abducted on two occasions by Maoists but was spared. Superintendent of Police (SP), Gadchiroli, Sandip Patil said Bhamragarh Local Organizational Squad (LOS) was likely involved in cold-blooded murder. "Naxals have killed one innocent villager every month this year. The latest seemed outcome of the desperation of the Naxals of Bhamragarh LOS who may wanted to prove their presence with this incident as the formation had no significant action in the past," said Patil. He added Naxals had killed nine civilians this year. The Maoists, after having murdered Wadde, also ensured they left behind their pamphlets owning up the murder and labelling the victim as police informer.
