A People's Liberation of India (PLFI) cadre using multiple aliases and facing at least two murder cases was arrested from Kolebira in Simdega District on October 12, with Police recovering a pistol, cartridges and several posters and pamphlets from him, reports The Telegraph. Iliyas Surin alias Bachhru alias Viscal (21), is an accused in two sensational murders reported in Kolebira in 2014. He was closely associated with several senior PLFI gunmen, including ‘zonal commander’ Jeedan Gudia, Barud Gope, Gujju Gope and Vijay Dang alias Tiger. Iliyas joined PLFI at the age of 15 that earned him the tag of "Bachhru". As his chiefs had either changed areas of operation or were caught by Police, he fled to Delhi about a year ago. He returned six months ago and joined hands with the new PLFI chief, Vijay Dang. Simdega Superintendent of Police (SP), Rajeev Ranjan Singh received a tip-off about him last evening. He then formed a special team led by Kolebira Officer-in-Charge (OIC) Manohar Kumar, who was able to arrest him. "We have sent him to Simdega divisional jail under judicial custody. Our operations are in full swing. I sincerely urge absconder rebels to surrender and avail of the benefits of the state government's surrender policy. Or else, they would be either caught or killed," he added. PLFI is a splinter group of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist).

Suspected People's Liberation of India (PLFI)cadres blew up two concrete sleepers of tracks detonating Improvised Explosive Device (IED) between Khelari and McCluskieganj stations in Ranchi District on October 16, reports The Telegraph. The tracks fall on the Coal Indian Cord (CIC) section of Dhanbad division, which suffered three blasts in Bokaro District between October 6 and 11 during the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) ‘protest week’. A gangman on patrol noticed the damaged sleepers, around 8.30am. Dhanbad Railway Protection Force (RPF) commandant A.N. Jha said there was no major damage to railway property. "No passenger train was affected though a goods train had to be detained for some time," he said. The Police recovered from the spot batteries and connecting wires used to trigger the explosion. "Preliminary probe suggests PLFI involvement though the area is known as a Maoist stronghold. The Ranchi Police are probing the case," Jha added. PLFI is a splinter group of the CPI-Maoist.

A People’s Liberation Front of India (PLFI) ‘area commander’ and eight cadres of his squad surrendered with their arms before the Police in Ranchi District on October 17, reports The Telegraph. The ‘area commander’ Lal Bihari Singh alias Lalu, who carried a reward of INR 200,000 on his head, and his trusted lieutenant Jirga Lugun also handed over their .315 rifles and cartridges to the Director General of Police (DGP) D.K. Pandey in the presence of Inspector General (IG) (operations) M.S. Bhatia during the event at the State Police headquarters. The other seven cadres have been identified as Ganju Lugun, Birsa Lugun, Goma Lugun, Samu Lugun, Mitu Lugun, Sado Lugun and Achu Herenj - each carrying a reward of INR 100,000 on his head and native of West Singhbhum District. Police said Lalu and seven of his aides were aged between 18 and 22 years while Achu Herenj was only 15. "You can see all of them are poor tribals. They were forced to take up arms at an age when they were unable to differentiate right and wrong," Pandey stressed. Most of them had joined the outfit three years ago under various compulsions. "I was a Class V student in 2013, when PLFI area commander Amar Gudia had come to my village in Bandgaon. He threatened to eliminate my entire family if I did not join his fold," Herenj, youngest among the nine, the DGP said. PLFI is a splinter group of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist).Later, addressing the media, DGP D.K. Pandey said the Police department would hire 15,000 personnel next year. The recruitment will be carried out to raise two women battalions, three Indian Reserve Battalion (IRB) battalions and two Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group (PVTG) battalions. Also, 2,500 Assistant Sub-Inspectors (ASIs) and equal number of associate constables will be hired. Total 33 per cent of the jobs will be reserved for women. According to the DGP, the department has worked out extensive plans to improve basic amenities in remote areas, paving the way for mobile phone connectivity, banking services, apart from education and power supply. "We have facilitated installation of 786 mobile phone towers in remote areas across the state. 125 such towers will soon provide 4G services, which will facilitate e-banking and ATM services in remote villages," he added.

Ramchandra Singh alias Ramu Ganjhu (30), one top leader of People's Liberation Front of India (PLFI), a breakaway faction of CPI-Maoist, surrendered in a public function organized by the District Police in Simdega District on October 18, reports The Times of India. "He was among the key PLFI leaders responsible for the strength of the outfit in the district," said SP Rajeev Ranjan Singh. Ganjhu was motivated to join Jharkhand Liberation Tiger (JLT), one of the 18 so-called Left-Wing Extremism (LWE) outfits in Jharkhand, by its local leaders who visited his village (Barkatoli in Bano Police Station area) for shelter and food in 2004. Later, he shifted his allegiance and joined PLFI where he served for the last six years. "After a recent mahapanchyat (group various Khap [a community organisation representing a clan or a group of related clans] panchayats) in the district where common people appealed to the extremists to surrender, Ganjhu decided to give up arms," said SP Singh. The family members of Ganjhu had attended the mahapanchyat and decided to encourage Ganjhu to surrender.
