Hindustan times reports that 14-year-old Barun Munda, a cadre of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) who surrendered before the court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ghatsila on November 8 has pleaded before the Jharkhand Police to help him pursue studies claiming that he had been 'trapped' by the Ghurabandha squad of the Maoists, Superintendent of Police (Rural), Ranjit Prasad said. Barun was a VIth standard student at Jamua. A nephew of hardcore Maoist Phogra Munda, he was in the squad for about a year when he was asked to do errands like carrying the Maoists' fire-arms and preparing food except when on particular "assignments like murder or act of sabotage on specific days." Barun was accused in the killings of two persons a few months ago and of blowing up rail tracks near Dalbhumgarh during a bandh called by the Maoists early this year. The boy claimed before the Police that he was lured by the Maoists since he wanted to earn fast bucks "for studies". Barun had made up his mind to flee from the group after the Maoists repeatedly refused to pay him, the SP Ranjit said.

Times of India reports that Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) ‘general secretary’ Muppala Laxman Rao alias Ganapathi says that the death of Azad was a severe blow for his outfit, but offers conditions for talks with the Government yet again. Replying to a question if in an interview that it was possible to talk with the Government after Azad's killing he said “ …For the past one and a half year, Comrades Azad, Kishenji and I have been stating our party's stand regarding talks... but government said talks would be held only if Maoists abjure violence. Keeping in view the war on the people...Azad continued declaring till the end that we would be ready for simultaneous ceasefire if the government is ready for it. The government doesn't feel any need for holding talks. It is crystal clear that there is no conducive atmosphere for talks. In spite of this, we request the people to demand from the government to prove its commitment to talks by implementing the following steps. (a) Stop Operation Green Hunt. Withdraw paramilitary forces. If government stops its offensive, then the counter-offensive would also stop. (b) Ours is a political party...with an ideological and military line and clear-cut policies on matters relating to culture, caste, gender, nationality etc. So the ban on our party should be lifted. (c) In Andhra Pradesh, Comrade Riyaz who participated in talks with the government in 2004 was murdered... Azad was murdered. It is not possible to believe the government and send underground comrades for talks... If the government releases our leadership from jails, then they would directly represent our party in the talks.”
