A special court, on August 1, rejected the National Investigation Agency (NIA) plea to extend the Police custody of three of the eight accused in the May 1 Maoist attack case in which 15 Policemen and a civilian were killed in a blast in Gadchiroli District of Maharashtra, reports The Times of India. The court said that the agency's grounds to seek the custody of the trio, Somsay Madavi (38), Kisan Hidami (42) and Sakru Gota (35), were "absolutely not sufficient". During the hearing last week, the court had allowed NIA's plea for custody of the eight accused until August 1. Notably, on May 1, an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) was used to carry out the blast when the Police team was travelling in a private vehicle to Kurkheda village to take stock of the situation after Maoists set on fire vehicles and machines.

The fringe outfits of banned Maoist outfit, CPI-Maoist, are turning out to be the biggest challenge for the Police in Jharkhand, reports New Kerala on August 5. The CPI-Maoist cadres that have left the party, have formed their own separate gangs. There are more than 12 such small breakaway groups, including the Peoples' Liberation Front of India (PLFI), Jharkhand Liberation Tigers (JLT), Jharkhand Sangharsh Morcha (JSM) operating in Ranchi, Garhwa, Latehar, Chatra, Hazaribagh, Khunti, Lohardaga and Palamu Districts of the State. These groups survive by extortion, arson, creating disturbances and even executing contract killings. According to Police, these organisations have executed 105 incidents of arson, firing and disturbance in the development works in the past 18 months. "These groups are currently causing more damage than the CPI-Maoist as they are not only accumulating wealth through extortion, but also using those funds to strengthen their organisation," a Police source stated. According to Police, "These organisations collect illegal levy from coal traders, contractors and companies involved in coal mining, and indulge in arson and disturb coal transportation and other development works when not paid." Since January this year, these organisations have been responsible for 57 per cent of deaths caused due to the Maoist violence. During the same period, 22 ultras have been killed in 26 encounters between the Police and the Maoists, mostly including the PLFI.

‘Surrender or be ready for an assault,’ is Kerala Police’s message to Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres as part of their new scheme to deal with the rebels active in the State, reports The New Indian Express on August 22. After years of adopting a soft approach towards Maoists – only resorting to defensive tactics after Maoists attacked – the Police are going on the offensive with their ‘Surrender or Assault’ scheme. Under the scheme, Maoists will be given a time frame to surrender, failing which the Police will launch an assault via a series of offensive operations. The State Government’s move to bring in a new scheme to crush Maoists in the State signals the mounting pressure it is under to act tough against rebels in line with the Centre’s policy on Left Wing Extremism (LWE). State Director General of Police (DGP), Loknath Behera saying, the Police have been lenient in dealing with LWE in Kerala, said, “We cannot continue like this. The state needs to act tough owing to a spurt in Maoist activities in the state. Our ‘surrender-cum-rehabilitation’ policy failed to bring desired results. Under the new scheme, we will give Maoists a chance to surrender and launch assault if they refuse. Since it is illegal to use forest areas as hideouts, we will launch offensive operations if we come across any intruder in forests.” The Government had launched the ‘surrender-cum-rehabilitation’ policy in May last year, and so far, it has seemingly evoked no response from the rebels. Intelligence officers said there are only four Malayalees in the LWE wing in Kerala. The rest of the cadre are from Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. “Around 60 cadre are from outside the state which is why Maoists are not embracing the earlier scheme,” said an officer involved in anti-Naxal [Left Wing Extremism, LWE] Operation.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) posters have surfaced at R Kothagudem village of Cherla Mandal (administrative sub-division) in Bhadradri Kothagudem District of Telangana on August 31, reports The Hans India. In the poster, Maoists have accused the police of killing CPI-Maoist Manuguru Area Committee leader Jadi Veeraswamy and Communist Party of India-Marxist-Leninist-New Democracy (CPI-ML-New Democracy) State Committee member Linganna in fake encounters. Both the deceased Naxals [Left Wing Extremists, LWEs] were arrested by the Police and killed in fake encounters. They appealed to the public to condemn the fake encounters and oppose Police coming into forests and villages for combing operations. If the fake encounters were not stopped the leaders of Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would be punished, Maoists warned. The State and Central Governments are trying to displace Adivasis (tribals) from the forests and eliminate Maoists to exploit the mineral wealth of forests. The public should wage a war against the rulers to protect forests, lands, honour and gain power, Maoists said.
