The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres killed two leaders of the Jharkhand Janamukti Morcha (JJM) in the West Midnapore District, Times of India reports. While the JJM state president Panchanan Tudu (49) was dragged out of his house and shot dead at Panchiara near Dahijuri in Binpur in the night of October 1, his colleague Amalendu Patra (43) was shot dead down in the market at Kapgari village in the Jamboni Police station area at around 6.30pm (IST) on October 2.

Statesman reports that two activists of a Kolkata-based non-governmental organisation (NGO), identified as Raja Sarkhel and Prasun Chatterjee, were arrested from Jadavpur on October 5 by a team of officers of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for their reported links with the People’s Committee against Police Atrocities (PCPA) leader Chhatradhar Mahato. The West Bengal Government, a few hours before, had approved the proposal of the West Midnapore District Police to frame charges under the Unlawful Activities [Prevention] Act (UAPA) against Mahato. Ajoy Ranade, the Deputy Inspector General of Police (Operations), confirmed the arrest. The two are also being charged under the provisions of the UAPA, he added. Both Sarkhel and Chatterjee are members of the Lalgarh Sanhati Mancha, a city-based group of intellectuals that supported the tribal movement in Lalgarh.

Police arrested two suspected CPI-Maoist cadres from two different areas of Murshidabad District, Times of India reported on October 8. "We arrested Majid Sheikh, a resident of Gangadhari village in Nawda and Israil Sheikh of Garibpur village in Domkal, three days ago for their direct involvement with the Maoists," said Murshidabad Superintendent of Police (SP) B. L. Meena, adding, "We have seized a firearm and two rounds of ammunition from Majid. Both of them are now in police custody." Majid was associated with Maoist activity in West Bengal and Jharkhand. "Police were on the lookout for him since long. Majid is accused of several murders and he was arrested a couple of times earlier," the SP added. He also said that Israil used to collect money for the Maoists. He used to work under a person known as Tajem, a senior Maoist functionary reportedly in charge of the Nawda, Hariharpara, Rejinagar areas in Murshidabad and a portion of Nadia. Israil was allegedly involved in extorting money from traders.

The convener of the Maoist-backed Police Santrash Birodhi Janasadharaner Committee (PSBJC), Chhatradhar Mahato, was produced before a court on October 7 in Jhargram for the third time since his arrest on September 26. He was remanded to three days of Police custody by the court against the 18-day Police custody petition filed by the public prosecutor. A list of articles seized from various locations according to the information extracted from Mahato during interrogation was produced by the Police, which included an extortion letter written by the PSBJC to the Block Development Officer of the Binpur I block, a firearm, some live bullets and few incriminating compact discs. The defence, in its submission, pointed out that the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, under which Mahato has been booked, was not applicable in the case since the State Government had not issued any notification in the public about enforcing the law. “Apart from the fact that the PSBJC is not a declared terrorist organisation and therefore its leaders cannot be booked under the UAPA, the law is inapplicable also because no notification was done by the State government prior to enforcing it,” defence counsel Kaushik Sinha told The Hindu over telephone from Jhargram.

The Maoists claimed responsibility for the murder of Trinamool Congress leader Nishikanta Mondal in Nandigram on September 22, alleging he was a Police informer. Underground Maoist leader Kishen told PTI from an undisclosed location that Mondal, panchayat pradhan (head of village level local self Government institution) at Sonachura in Nandigram, was killed because he was a Trinamool party leader and worked as a Police informer. "We have our base in Sonchaura in Nandigram, and Trinamool also has its base in the same area. Nishikanta was making negative propaganda and was not allowing us to function properly in the area. We had requested him many times but he refused to listen," Kishenji said.

A day after Union Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee hinted that she was ready to mediate between the Maoists and Centre, Kishan, a politburo member of the CPI-Maoist, urged the minister to “make her stand clear” on the “state oppression” against tribals in Junglemahal, reports The Statesman. “The proposal (mediating between Maoists and the Centre) is very good. But she (Mamata Banerjee) is a part of the UPA [United Progressive Alliance] that sent forces to Lalgarh. First, she has to make it clear whether she stands by the tribal people,” said Kishan from an undisclosed location.

"In the past two months, we managed to nab at least 25 senior and influential leaders of the tribal outfit. It is a major setback for them," said an unnamed senior Police officer.

The Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram on October 22 rejected the Communist Party of India Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leader Mallojula Koteswara Rao alias Kishenji’s claim that the abducted West Bengal Police officer Atindranath Dutta (who has since been released) was a "prisoner of war", reports The Hindu. He, however, said the political view of the Naxalites (left-wing extremists) could be accommodated in a democratic system. "They are using words like PoW [Prisoner of War]. We reject that, [it is] unacceptable in a democratic and republic system. We can never accept the theory of an armed liberation struggle and of guerrilla war," he told journalists in Ranchi, capital of Jharkhand. "Let me assume that the CPI (Maoist) has a particular political view. That view can also be accommodated in the democratic system. So, within a democratic system, there are ways in which causes can be advocated and grievances redressed. But violence is no answer," he added. Asked how he differentiated between the Maoists and insurgents of the northeast and Jammu and Kashmir separatists, when all of them indulged in violence, he said the context should be understood. "One key difference is [while] others ask for secession or separate States, the Maoists are not asking for separate States."

Mahato threatened that the militia would soon hit state and central offices and Government agencies. He called for an indefinite strike in Jangalmahal from October 27.

Times of India reports that armed cadres of the People’s Committee against Police Atrocities (PCPA) as well as that of Communist party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) laid siege to the Bhubaneswar-New Delhi Rajdhani Express at Banstala Railway Station, eight kilometres from Jhargram town in West Midnapore District, on October 27.

Rejecting Union Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee’s demand on October 27 for deployment of the Army in the Maoist insurgency-affected areas of West Bengal, the Defence Minister, A. K. Antony, said on October 28 that the use of armed forces for internal security was the "last resort". "Whether in West Bengal or any other area, our view is that employing armed forces for internal security should be the last, the very last resort, only when the other agencies have failed. Police and paramilitary have to deal with Naxalism," Antony said. He added that law and order issues should be handled by respective State Governments and ruled out talks with Maoists before they abjure violence.

The Hindu reports that the military wing of the Maoist-backed People's Committee against Police Atrocity (PCPA) - Sidhu Kanu Gana Militia - vandalised property belonging to the State Government in two separate incidents in West Midnapore District late on October 29 and October 30. A group of armed men attacked the Silda Range Office in the Binpur block late on October 29 and ransacked and set ablaze six buildings. The group assaulted the officer-in-charge and looted money. It left behind posters demanding the unconditional release of PCPA convener Chhatradhar Mahato and other leaders of the outfit. In another incident on October 30, a group ransacked the Panchayat (village level local self government institution) office at Makli in the Goaltore area and later set it ablaze. Superintendent of Police Manoj Kumar Verma said the PCPA was behind both attacks and that they were being investigated. "The Police had been claiming that the PCPA is an offshoot of the Maoists and was involved in all kinds of violent activities. But only after they launched the so-called armed wing was it proved that there is no difference between the Maoists and the PCPA supporters," Verma said.
