The Taliban, who killed Polish national Piotr Stanczak last week, are now demanding US$200,000 for return of the body, The News reported. According to sources in the Interior Ministry, the Taliban have not directly contacted the Government but conveyed to Poland through a private negotiator that they will not hand over the body until they are paid the amount. The official confirmation of the Polish engineer’s killing came late on February 13-night from the Foreign Ministry after the authorities were able to verify through a number of independent sources that he was beheaded by his captors last week.

PTI reports on June 7 that left-wing extremists generate INR 15 billion income through collection of 'levy' in the seven worst affected States of Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, Bihar, West Bengal and Maharashtra, said security agencies. The extremist’s literature and documents seized by central security agencies and State Police forces during their operations have revealed intricate details of "levy" extorted by groups which run in several hundred crores every year. The 'levy' is not only paid by the contractors working in the areas dominated by the extremists but also by the industrial houses including some of the nationally reputed ones, the officials said. Though the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) still remains the prominent Naxalite group in Jharkhand, there are other splinter groups which too have now started imposing 'levy' besides indulging in kidnapping, looting and narcotics trade, which results in around INR 3 billion as annual income from the State.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) extort up to INR 300 crore every year in Chhattisgarh from traders of forest products, transporters and iron ore mining firms, said the Chief Minister Raman Singh, The Hindu reported on July 5. "Maoists extort at least Rs.250-300 crore (Rs.2.5-3 billion) annually and their extortion business runs from the state's southern tip of Bastar to the northern Surguja district," Singh told IANS. "They mainly extort money from traders of 'tendu' leaves, iron ore mining firms, small and big contractors and transporters," he added. Tendu leaves, which are used to make bidis (leaf-rolled cigarettes), are one of the most important forest products of the Bastar region, which is considered a hub of the Maoist insurgency. "The traders, businessmen, contractors and others who pay extortion money hardly have the courage to report it to the police because of the fear of Maoists and their own business interests in the region," said Singh.

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."
