As many as 23 people from the Visakhapatnam Agency, belonging to the Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group (PVTG), met Collector V. Vinay Chand at the Collectorate on July 1, and sought protection from the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), alleged that the Maoists were terrorising them, reports The Hindu. “We are eking out our livelihood by raising crops along the hill slopes and educating our children to ensure their better future. The Maoists are coming to our hamlets and advising us against sending our children to schools and colleges or for jobs at government offices. They are also warning us against using cellphones,” the villagers alleged. They further said that the Maoists were suspecting everyone using a cellphone thinking that they were passing on information to the Police on their movements. “The Maoists are beating up tribal people and sometimes killing them. The tribal youth are opposing them and have decided to prevent their entry to our hamlets,” they said. The Maoists killed Korra Sattibabu of Ginnelakota Panchayat (village level local self-Government institution) in Pedabayalu Mandal (administrative sub-division) recently after picking him up from the village, promising that he would be sent back after questioning. “The tribal people were living in a State of constant fear of being picked up and killed by the Maoists,” the residents alleged. They sought protection from the Maoists and appealed to the Collector to provide them land in the mandal headquarters so that they could take up cultivation there. Earlier, South Asia Terrorism Portal (SATP) had reported that CPI-Maoist cadres killed an Adivasi youth, identified as Kora Sattibabu (21), after branding him a ‘police informer’ in Bongjangi village in Pedabayalu Mandal in Visakhapatnam District of Andhra Pradesh on June 28.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has expelled a 'divisional committee member (DCM)’ of the Galigonda Area Committee, identified as Boda Anjaiah alias Naveen, and his aide Kondre alias Jeevani for anti-party activity, reports The Times of India on July 8. This was announced in a release sent to media persons in Malkangiri District of Odisha on July 7. The statement in Telugu, which was signed by the ‘secretary’ of the Andhra-Odisha Border Special Zonal Committee (AOBSZC), Ganesh, said, “Naveen and Jeevani have been expelled from the party and we appeal to the people not to extend any support to them in future.” Naveen, a resident of Therumallagiri village in Krishna District of Andhra Pradesh, had joined the outfit in 2007 and was reportedly involved in several offensives in the ‘swabhimaan area’ (earlier known as the cut-off area) in Malkangiri District. The Odisha Government declared a reward of INR one million for anyone who ensures his arrest. Police said the Galigonda area committee mostly operated in Andhra Pradesh but a portion of the ‘swabhimaan area’ came under their sphere of influence. AOBSZC ‘secretary’ Ganesh alleged that Naveen has maintained extra marital affairs with the Galikonda ACM Jeevani and he lost confidence in waging the war against the enemy and escaped from the party. Jeevani of Gorlemetta village in Koyyuru Mandal (administrative sub-division) was recruited in the party in 2014 and promoted as ACM six months ago.

Unhappy with the success of Government’s Police recruitment drives over the past five years in Bastar region of Chhattisgarh, the Maoists have reportedly detained the young boys and threatened them with dire consequences in case they decide to join forces, reports News18 on July 9. According to sources, senior Maoist ‘commanders’ have been seen in several Bastar villages and are reportedly profiling the youth who have applied for the posts in Police department and are being threatened with dire consequences in case they decide to join the Police Force. In one such input, Lakhma, a ‘commander’ of Local Organisational Squad (LOS) based in Usur tehsil (revenue unit), is said to have visited several villages in South Bastar's Bijapur District with at least 30 armed guerillas. "According to information available with us, he rounded up all the boys who have studied up to 12th standard and threatened them to stay away from the recruitment drives. Those who were found to have participated in these drives last year aren't being allowed to leave their villages," a source said. Locals in Bastar have repeatedly come forward to fight the Maoists as part of Police and paramilitary formations. The all-women Danteshwari Tigers is one such recent anti-Maoist formation that consists of 30 local women, some of who are surrendered Maoists. The force has already been part of many encounters in coordination with District Reserve Guards (DRG) and Special Task Force (STF) of the Police. Bastariya battalion is another such example where battalions consisting of local men have been trained by the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) to fight Naxals [Left Wing Extremists, LWEs], at the paramilitary's site in Ambikapur city in Surguja District of Chhattisgarh.

Two tribals were shot dead and another beaten up brutally by Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres at Veeravaram village of Chintapalli Block (administrative unit) in Visakhapatnam District of Andhra Pradesh in the wee hours of July 18, reports Hindustan Times. The deceased, identified as Emilli Satti Babu (40) and Pangi Raja Rao (43), were branded as ‘police informers’ by the Maoists. Another tribal – Pangi Linga, was beaten up indiscriminately. Police said around 12-15 armed Maoists came to the village after midnight and dragged Satti Babu, Raja Rao and Linga out of their beds. “They first beat up the three tribals branding them as police informers and then gunned two of them down. Linga repeatedly pleaded with them to spare him. They beat him black and blue with sticks and left him at his house,” Annaram Sub-Inspector (SI) Raghu Varma said. The Maoists left a note at the village saying that they were compelled to kill the two tribals as they were responsible for killing of two of their colleagues – Sharat and Ganapathi— in the past. “The police informers should accept their mistakes and lead a normal life,” the note said. Maoist leaders Sharat and Ganapathi were lynched by a mob in Veeravaram village when they killed G Sanjeeva Rao, a tribal priest in October 20, 2014. Since then, the Maoists have been waiting for taking revenge on the tribals, Police said.
