Daily India reports that the villagers of Mohanpur in the Begusarai district have taken up arms against the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres, days after a police outpost was removed from the area without prior notice.

State government banned activities of the Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF), a non-profit international medical and humanitarian aid organisation, in the Bastar region accusing the organisation of providing medical assistance to Maoists. District Collector of Dantewada K. R. Pisda told Times of India, "The administration has been constantly receiving information about MSF's volunteers providing treatment to the injured and ailing Maoist cadres." State police sources said that the MSF doctors had been moving in the conflict zone without informing the local administration. "They do this despite a clear instruction to them to tell us about their movements and whereabouts," an unnamed senior police officer said. A MSF spokesperson, however, said the organisation maintained neutrality in providing medical treatment in camps for the displaced people in Dantewada. "MSF medical teams also provide mobile health services and nutritional support to those in need in remote rural areas. They have been providing free medical services to conflict-hit indigenous people in camps and villages since 2006," he said. MSF was given the Nobel Prize for Peace for its service in providing health care across the world, especially in disaster and conflict affected zones.

On August 14, the Union Government said that the available statistics on Maoists do not reveal the true picture about their activities, reports Pioneer. Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil, while replying to a question in the Lok Sabha (Lower-house of Indian Parliament) said, "Naxal [Maoist] movement is little more than in the past. But statistics made available are creating wrong impression. If an incident occurs in some part of the state, it doesn't mean the entire state is affected." He rejected the impression that Maoist activities were affecting one-third of the country based on suggestions that ten states or 180 districts are hit by the extremists. "The fact is that out of about 8,000 police stations, only 400 are affected. In other words, only five per cent of area is affected by naxal activities", he said.

On August 17, Police in Bengaluru (also known as Bangalore), capital of Karnataka, foiled a plot to trigger explosions in the city by arresting a four-member gang near Dattatreya Temple in the Banashankari area. The gang was traveling in a vehicle loaded with explosives. A revolver, ten detonators, 20 gelatin sticks and other weapons were recovered from Asgar alias Asgar Pasha bin Abdul Rasheed of Mangammanapalya in Bengaluru, Umar bin Mohammad Sharif of Lakshmi Layout in Bengaluru, Jilani bin Wallisab of Desnur village in the Bellary district and Mohammad Zaheer bin Shafiulla Khan of Kowl Bazaar Street in Bellary. City Police Commissioner, N. Achutha Rao, told Deccan Herald that another accused Sameer is absconding. According to police sources, Asgar has linkages with the Naxalites (left-wing extremists). Deputy Commissioner of Police Alok Kumar said, “Asgar told the police that he wanted to trigger explosions in various parts of the City to eliminate his enemy, rowdy Diwan Ali, and his associates. But, the police suspect that Asgar might have cooked up the story to mislead the police. He seems to have close connections with Naxalites. He reportedly has links with Naxalite Narayananappa, who was convicted in two cases 8 years ago and is currently lodged in Central Prison, Parappana Agrahara.”
