A Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadre, identified as Sameer Mohonda alias Sadhu Linga (31), a member of the Chatgaon Local Organizational Squad (LOS) of the CPI-Maoist, carrying a reward of INR 200,000 on his head, was killed in an encounter with C-60 commandos in the Kiarkoti-Abujhmad Forest area in Bhamragarh Taluka (revenue division) in Gadchiroli District of Maharashtra on April 1, reports The Times of India. A press release by the office of Gadchiroli Superintendent of Police (SP) stated that in the lead-up to an ongoing planned agitation in the Todgatta region, Naxalites [Left Wing Extremism, LWE] had threatened the local population to join. They had strategically distributed pamphlets to instigate local villagers to support their cause and to oppose the road work and other developmental work on the false pretext of starting of Damkodwahi mining operation. As per the input, a large congregation of Naxalites was present near Todgatta to intimidate villagers, and they were planning a largescale ambush and attack on operating Police parties, the release said. Acting on the input, Gadchiroli Police's C60 anti-Naxal squad launched an operation in the Abujhmad Forest bordering Chhattisgarh. During the operation, they came under indiscriminate fire from a group of 60 to 70 Naxalites hiding in the Hiker Forest who used Barrel Grenade Launcher (BGL) and other weapons. The C-60 commandos retaliated and engaged Naxalites for approximately an hour. Eventually, the Naxalites managed to flee into the dense forest. A huge cache of weapons, including one .303 rifle, bharmar gun, country-made pistol, three magazines, 31 bullets, cash Rs 38,000, medicines, one branded tablet, Maoist literature and other materials were recovered from the hillock where the encounter happened for almost an hour.

A passenger bus, flagged off a month ago to connect Bastar’s Dantewada directly with Narayanpur, bypassing Jagdalpur and Kondagaon, was set ablaze by the cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), in the Malewahi area in Dantewada District of Chhattisgarh on April 1, reports The Times of India. Around two dozen Maoists, some of them armed, forced the passengers to alight and set the bus on fire, apparently displaying their frustration, said Dantewada Superintendent of Police (SP) Siddharth Tiwari. The Maoists, however, did not harm the passengers, said the SP, adding it was clearly an act committed out of frustration and anger against the ongoing development works in Bastar.

Assam’s militant outfit Dimasa National Liberation Army (DNLA), on April 1, declared a unilateral ceasefire by another six months, reports India Today NE. In a letter addressed to the Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, Juhthai, the ‘chairman’ of DNLA, had desired to extend the period of the Ceasefire Agreement Sign of DNLA to another six months, from April 1, 2023, to September 30, 2023. The letter states, " It hereby informs you that the Dimasa National Liberation Army (DNLA) has resolved to extend the period of another six months of Ceasefire Agreement Sign from April 2023 to 30th September 2023 for better peaceful environment, developmental talk and co-relation among us. This is for information and necessary action." Earlier, in September 2021, the DNLA declared a "Unilateral Ceasefire" for six months as a gesture of goodwill while responding to the call for peace by Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. The announcement came exactly two weeks after DNLA killed five persons and injured one when they fired at a convoy of seven trucks and set them on fire on August 26, 2021 in the Dima Hasao District in Assam.

As many as 14 cadres from the district were currently working underground for the banned Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) party, informed Superintendent of Police (SP) Vineeth G in Bhadradri Kothagudem District of Telangana on April 6, reports Telangana Today. Previously, 28 people from the district worked in the Maoist party and their number has come down now because of the efforts being made by the State Government and Bhadradri Kothagudem Police to wean away Maoist’s influence in the district. The family members of the underground Maoists have to take the responsibility of encouraging the Maoists to surrender for leading a normal life. The government provides support for the rehabilitation of surrendered Maoists, the SP said, adding that the Maoist leaders were terrorising innocent tribals and forcing them to join the banned Maoist party to engage them in illegal activities for their selfish interests. Knowingly and unknowingly, some went underground and now find it difficult to join the mainstream of life.

She asserted, "Certain states with dubious proliferation credentials” that collude with terrorists should be held accountable for their “misdeeds.

Only 137 active terrorists are reportedly active in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), with foreign terrorists (90) outnumbering local terrorists (47), according to a security review meeting held in J&K cited by the Times of India on April 14. Local recruitment has declined, and several local terrorists have been eliminated over time, leading to a decrease in local terrorist activity. However, the count of active foreign terrorists - largely cadres of Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) is higher as they may be using newer ways to escape technical surveillance and may have found safer hideouts. While only three infiltration bids from Pakistan were reported in 2023, all of which were foiled, the meeting discussed keeping the border security grid tight and deployment of anti-drone machines to tackle drone activity along the border in Jammu District.

The High Court of Kerala rejected the petitions filed by two persons hailing from Andhra Pradesh, who were arrested under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) for their alleged links with the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), reports indialegallive.com on April 14. Noting that the offences alleged against them were of a grave and serious nature, the Division Bench of Justice Alexander Thomas and Justice C.S. Sudha denied bail to the accused. The High Court, while taking in view the material which showed the alleged involvement of accused number 5 & 6 in the activities of CPI-Maoist, ruled that they cannot be granted bail. It further noted that if granted bail, there was a serious likelihood of the accused either remaining absconding or fleeing away from the long arm of the law, since the terrorist organisation had presence in different States. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) had registered a First Information Report (FIR) against the accused for offences punishable under Sections 18, 18A, 18B, 20, 38 & 39 of the UAPA and Section 120B of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

Suspected Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) posters were found hanging on the main gate of Jhadbeda Tribal High School in Jashipur area in Mayurbhanj District of Odisha on April 15, reports The New Indian Express. While one of the posters read that the Maoists wanted the Government to provide basic facilities to all the villages under Niunty Gram Panchayat (village level local self-Government institution), and make positive changes in the society, it also warned that in case the Government fails to do so, they will take things to their hand and start the facilities. The text was written in Odia and signed by RK Magi, suspected to be a Maoist. The second poster mentioned that instead of rendering public service, sarpanch (head of the Panchayat) the said gram panchayat only took interest in doing contractual works. “People who have changed their religion from Hinduism to Christianity, will be killed,” the poster further warned. It may be recalled that the Maoists had in 2009 trespassed into Chahala area of Similipal Tiger Reserve, reportedly damaged the VH tower and thrashed forest personnel and tourists.

With a death toll of 111, January recorded the second-highest number of fatalities of SF personnel in a single month, second only to July 2014 with 118 fatalities.

On April 29, the alliance of Afghan Women’s Protest Movements responded to the United Nation (UN) position on taking small steps towards recognizing the Taliban by saying that recognizing this group is equivalent to recognizing terrorism, reports Hasht-e Subh. A six-article resolution issued by the alliance of Afghan Women’s Protest Movements states that the world community knows that the Taliban have taken women’s rights hostage to negotiate their recognition with the world. In this regard, they have crossed the red line for the UN and violated all international agreements. It further says that that the Taliban are not worthy of recognition, being in government positions, or representing the Afghan people and that any interaction with this group should be avoided. The UN should deal decisively and persistently with the Taliban’s inhumane behaviour and hostile policies, not on personal taste or case-by-case, it added.
