Fearing that the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) would infiltrate the Districts bordering the State of Jharkhand during the Legislative Assembly Election in the state (Jharkhand), the Bihar Police are making all possible arrangements, reports Times of India. "This threat is not ruled out and we have asked the Superintendents of Police of all Districts bordering Jharkhand to tighten vigil," said U. S. Dutt, Additional Director-General of Police (headquarters) on November 10. The State will become more vulnerable in the coming weeks as Bihar is sending five companies of paramilitary forces to the poll-bound State, he added. A similar threat is suspected by the Jharkhand Police, too, which feels that Maoists from Bihar may enter their territory.

If Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) halted their violence, the Government would respond in 72 hours and order a review of all corporate memorandums of understanding (MoUs) in Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Orissa and south Bihar, the Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram has promised, according to Hindustan Times. Calling "Operation Green Hunt", a proposed armed offensive against Maoists, "a pure invention of the media", Chidambaram said, "There is no Operation Green Hunt. Name the officer who has said there is and I will take action against him." In an interview with Tehelk a magazine, Chidambaram said categorically, "I haven't seen a single paper or document in the home ministry with the phrase 'Operation Green Hunt'. It's a pure "invention of the media." He said the State Police, assisted by paramilitary forces and intelligence, would in the months ahead "reassert control over areas where, regrettably, the civil administration has lost control". The minister denied that the Government was calling in the Army or the Rashtriya Rifles to flush out Maoist guerrillas in Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Orissa. Asked why the Government was not taking tribals into confidence and isolating Maoists instead of raising a military offensive against them, Chidambaram said, "Instead of arguing over who is responsible for the violence or who should stop the violence, why don't the Maoists heed my appeal and say, 'yes, we will halt the violence and let us hear the home minister's response'." "Give me two or three days to respond, because I need to consult others in government, both at the Centre and the states. Once they say, they will halt the violence and they actually do, between their statement and my response which will surely come in about 72 hours," he added. "You will find that I am in a position to respond in a manner where violence can be ended once and for all and development can take place, and talks can also be held with the (Communist Party of India) CPI-Maoists. But the first step is for them to say, 'we halt the violence'," the Home Minister said in the interview to be published in its latest issue. Asked whether the Government was taking control of mineral-rich land and securing it for private companies through MoUs, he responded by saying, "The MoUs have been signed over a period of time with different governments, long before Maoist violence rose to this level. Nevertheless, I am prepared to request Prime Minister (Manmohan Singh) to freeze the MoUs and order a comprehensive review of all MoUs that have been signed in Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Orissa and south Bihar before deciding which MoUs should be implemented - with or without modification. I am prepared to request the prime minister to do that." He said he was ready to facilitate talks on forest rights, industrialisation, land acquisition and development with State Governments.

The Patna Police arrested Subodh Singh, who is wanted in connection with the recovery of a haul of explosives besides rifles and cartridges from Patna and Gaya in Bihar and Ranchi, Hazaribgah and Bokaro in Jharkhand during successive raids earlier this month. Patna Senior Superintendent of Police Vineet Vinayak said on November 14 that Subodh, son of Rabindra Singh, and his wife were arrested from a house at Ramnagari under Rajeev Nagar Police station in the night of November 13. A pistol, 650 rounds of cartridges, SIM cards, fake driving licences, PAN and identity cards and Naxalite literature were seized from the place. Subodh later led the Police to a house in F sector under Kankerbagh Police Station from where three automatic rifles, 720 live cartridges, CDs and Maoist literature were seized. The rifles were kept in the cabinet of a book shelf, Vinayak said. Quoting neighbours, the SSP said the house had been taken on rent by one Prince alias Rakesh Ranjan for the last four years. Subodh, in collusion with Prince, used to stock the explosives, arms and ammunition there and transport the stuff as and when demanded by the Naxalites, he said. On the basis of confessions made by Subodh, Police also seized six vehicles of a travel agency owned by Prabhat Singh, a resident of road number 11 of Ashok Nagar. From Prabhat's house, Police seized another Ambassador car, which had in its boot a special cavity. 275 cartridges of different makes were recovered from that cavity, Vinayak said. Police have also seized five VIP beacon lights, nameplates of some senior officials of the income-tax department, CDs and Maoist literature from Prabhat's house. Prabhat, who used to supply vehicles to ferry Maoists and explosives to various places, the SSP said, adding that Police were on the lookout for Prince and Prabhat. Telegraph adds that Police also arrested three associates of Subodh for allegedly supplying arms to Maoists. Over 250 cartridges made in China and Pakistan was found concealed under the seat of an Ambassador car seized from Subodh’s transport agency. Some of the seizures in Patna, Gaya and Bokaro in the past week have thrown up Chinese hand-grenades that look like “peeled coconuts”. The Police said these are a “hot favourite” with the Maoists. The Maoists were also said to be “in possession” of hundreds of pistols made in China and even Pakistan, the Police added. Pistols of Pakistani make and magazines were recovered from two suspected Maoists picked up recently from Khagaria District in Bihar. Guns made in Bihar’s Munger, a centre of illegal arms factories for three decades, are also suspected to have reached Maoists.
