The Naxal [Left Wing Extremism, LWE] violence in India has decreased by 77 per cent over the past 12 years, and the number of deaths in related incidents has also decreased by 90 per cent during the same period, the government said in Lok Sabha (Lower House of the Indian Parliament) on March 14, reports The Hindu. Union Minister of State for Home, Nityanand Rai, said the geographical spread of LWE-related violence (security forces and civilians) has significantly reduced, and only 176 police stations of 45 districts reported related violence in 2022. In 2010, at least 465 police stations in 96 districts reported LWE-related violence. Responding to a written question, Rai said the number of LWE-related deaths has decreased from an all-time high of 1005 in 2010 to just 98 in 2022. The minister also said the decline in the geographical spread of violence is also reflected in the reduced number of districts covered under the security-related expenditure (SRE) scheme. He further said 126 districts were covered under the SRE scheme in 2010, but that number came down to 90 in April 2018 and further to 70 in July 2021. Also, Rai said the security situation in Jharkhand has improved considerably, the existing security vacuum in the state has been almost filled, and the number of violent incidents in Jharkhand has reduced by 82% from a high of 742 in 2009 to 132 in 2022. Places like Burha Pahar, the tri-junction of West Singhbhum, Saraikela-Kharsawan and Khunti, and Parasnath Hills have been freed from Maoists through the establishment of camps and sustained operations by security forces, he added.

The Rajasthan High Court on March 29, set aside the conviction and death sentence awarded by the trial court to four persons, identified as Mohammed Saif, Mohammed Sarwar Azmi, Saifur Rehman and Mohammed Salman, in the case of the serial blasts that had killed 71 people and left 200 injured in Jaipur in Rajasthan in May 2008, reports The Hindu. The court also upheld the acquittal of a fifth accused, identified as Shahbaz Ahmed, recorded by the trial court in 2019, and accepted the plea of one of the accused that he was a minor. In December 2019, a special court in Jaipur had awarded capital punishment to all the four accused after holding them guilty of planting the bombs and carrying out the explosions. The fifth accused charged with sending an e-mail claiming responsibility for the blasts, was acquitted for want of evidence. Acquitting all the accused, a Division Bench of the High Court held that the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) of the Rajasthan Police had failed to prove any aspect of the evidence and there was no basis to establish its theory of conspiracy, in which the accused were sought to be implicated. The court also stated that some of the evidence produced against the accused also appeared to be fabricated. The Bench, comprising Justices Pankaj Bhandari and Sameer Jain, passed strictures against the Police and gave directions for initiating an inquiry against the investigating officers. The court said that since the statements made by the accused to the Police officers were inadmissible as evidence, they could not form the basis for their conviction.
