The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has called for a bandh (general shutdown) in Visakhapatnam District on October 3, in protest against the ‘unprovoked encounter killings’ of Maoists on September 22, that took place in G.K. Veedhi Mandal (administrative sub-division) in the Visakhapatnam District of Andhra Pradesh, reports The Hindu on October 2. A letter reportedly released by the Maoist ‘secretary’ of the Andhra Pradesh-Odisha Border (AOB) area, Ganesh claimed that the Maoists were returning after a meeting when they were surrounded by the Greyhounds personnel and the later opened fire. “Three Maoists —Budri, Bimala, Ajay—were killed at the encounter site on September 22. Ramesh and Bhuma were tortured and killed by the Security Forces (SFs) on September 23,” the letter said. All the slain Maoists were from the third platoon of the Maoist PLGA (People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army) and hailed from Chhattisgarh. However, Rural Police have said that it was the Maoists who first opened fire on the SFs in the Mandal and the SFs retaliated in self defence. Claiming that the YSR Congress Party had come to power with the support of tribal people, the letter said, “Now, the same the government, with the help of the police is harassing the innocent tribal people”.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) reportedly released an audio file to the media accusing the Police of indulging in false propaganda in the Visakhapatnam District of Andhra Pradesh on October 3, reports The Hindu. The audio file was released by Galikonda Area committee member of the CPI-Maoist, Gemmeli Kamesh alias Hari, whereby he alleged that the Police were releasing posters with pictures of Maoists and projecting them as wrongdoers. He claimed that the Maoists had always been fighting for the rights of the tribal people and protecting the resources in the tribal areas. Leaders such as Jambri, Sharat and Azad had sacrificed their lives for the cause in the past, Hari claimed. He also spoke about the Central Government’s policies and said that they were “pro-corporate and anti-tribal.” Reportedly, Hari’s name made the rounds during the recent exchange of fire in Gudem Kotha Veedhi Mandal (administrative sub-division) under Vizag Agency in the District on September 22, in which five Maoists were killed.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) had advised Odisha Police to trace the money trail of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) and choke their funding to weaken their organisation, reports The Times of India on October 4. NIA’s advice came on the sidelines of a workshop on ‘capacity building of Odisha Police in probing terror-related cases’ held in Bhubaneswar city of Khordha District of the State. The NIA’s Director General (DG), Yogesh Chander Modi said, “Such militants, including terrorists and Maoists, cannot survive without money. Maoist activities in Odisha can be checked to a great extent if Police choke their funding. They (Maoists) will be practically finished”. According to a Police Official, Maoists in Odisha largely mop up money from ganja cultivation and extortion. Though thousands of acres of ganja plants are being destroyed every year and hundreds of cannabis smugglers arrested annually, the Police have so far failed to trace the main sources of funding to Maoists. Saying that the naxal [Left Wing Extremism, LWE] related violence is well under control in Odisha, the DG asked the State Police to refer sensitive Maoist-related and suspected terror cases to NIA for investigation. Further, the Director General of Police (DGP) of the State, B. K. Sharma said the NIA training workshop would help the State Police improve the quality of investigation into terror and naxal-related cases.

Roving lights, suspected of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) drone has been sighted in the airspace of highly secured base camps of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) for the three consecutive nights in the Sukma District of Chhattisgarh, reports The New Indian Express on October 7. As per the report, flying at a height of around 300 meters, a gleaming light was consistently seen going hither and thither, and later withdrawn abruptly but there was no accompanying sound as usually heard with drones in operation. The CRPF Spokesperson B. C. Patra said, “Such sighting of lights (or suspected drone) during the night hours has never been reported earlier in and around the CRPF base camps across the Maoist-affected Bastar region. It was sighted for three days at around 7 PM. We have sent an alert to the Intelligence Bureau (IB) and the State Intelligence Bureau (SIB). Though it’s not yet confirmed, there remains a suspicion of these flying object might be Maoist drone. It was seen flying over the CRPF camps of Palodi and Kistagram separated by an aerial distance of 5 km. It’s under investigation”. The Bastar Police also confirmed of such shining lights being spotted over the CRPF base camps in the restricted areas. The Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIGP, Anti-Maoist Operation), Sunderraj P. said, “We are verifying and trying to find it out. There are speculations but no confirmation yet. If it’s true then it’s a matter of concern”.
