According to Times of India, Jayanta Mahato, a leader of the ruling Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) party, was killed by cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) at Dirghosa forest in the Salboni area of West Midnapore District in the morning of June 6. An armed group of 15-20 insurgents dragged other CPI-M leaders out of their homes and assaulted them in the Dhinpur village Panchayat (village level local self Government institution) area. Earlier, on June 2, Maoists had announced at a meeting that Mahato would be killed. Shyam Pandey, CPI-M’s Salboni zonal committee secretary, said, "Around 50 leaders have fled the locality in fear." Fearful villagers reportedly did not venture out to remove Mahato's body. Superintendent of Police Manoj Verma said, "We heard that a few CPI-M leaders have been kidnapped by Maoists. However, we have not received a murder complaint yet."

PTI reports on June 7 that left-wing extremists generate INR 15 billion income through collection of 'levy' in the seven worst affected States of Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, Bihar, West Bengal and Maharashtra, said security agencies. The extremist’s literature and documents seized by central security agencies and State Police forces during their operations have revealed intricate details of "levy" extorted by groups which run in several hundred crores every year. The 'levy' is not only paid by the contractors working in the areas dominated by the extremists but also by the industrial houses including some of the nationally reputed ones, the officials said. Though the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) still remains the prominent Naxalite group in Jharkhand, there are other splinter groups which too have now started imposing 'levy' besides indulging in kidnapping, looting and narcotics trade, which results in around INR 3 billion as annual income from the State.

Times of India reports that the Centre believes that West Bengal's indecision on outlawing the CPI-Maoist is hampering counter-insurgency operations in the Red corridor. "While the Bengal government accuses the Centre of not sending adequate paramilitary forces to counter Maoists, the ministry of home affairs has urged the state to impose a ban on the outfit. Till this is done, the menace cannot be controlled. But instead of considering a ban, the state government has even withdrawn its Police forces from the areas where Naxalites are operating. Under the circumstances, central forces who do not know the terrain or the people will be of little help," a Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) source said.

Times of India reports that a local leader and two activists of the ruling Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) were killed by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres at Banksole in the Jhargram area of West Midnapore District, about 20 kilometres from Lalgarh area on June 17. The six motorcycle-borne assailants killed the three persons, including CPI-M’s Shimli branch secretary Amal Mahato, when they were having tea at a shop after patrolling the forest in the night to guard against Maoist-backed tribal agitators. The three were part of a village resistance group approved by the administration to assist the Police, Jhargram Sub-Divisional Officer Ulganathan said. The Hindu adds that three houses belonging to the CPI-M leaders were ransacked and set ablaze in areas adjoining Lalgarh, parts of which have been rendered inaccessible with roads dug up by activists of the Maoist-backed People’s Committee against Police Atrocities (PCPA) to prevent the entry of Central Paramilitary Forces being deployed in the region.

According to The Hindu, the Centre has asked the Government of West Bengal to declare the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) as an "unlawful association" under a 1908 Act as its scope is much wider than the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) enacted in 2008. Union Home Ministry officials said the West Bengal Government has been advised to declare the CPI-Maoist as outlawed because of the fact that the UAPA, under which the Centre outlawed the outfit on June 22, is essentially directed against unlawful associations that support secession. "The Criminal Law Amendment Act, 1908 (CLAA) has a very different objective. It is directed against associations which encourage or aid person to commit acts of violence or intimidation. The power is vested in the state government to declare an association as unlawful," a Union Home Ministry official said.
