Seven Injured in Meghalaya Blast​

SHILLONG: Seven people were injured in a bomb explosion at a crowded market in Tura in Meghalaya's West Garo Hills district, forcing authorities to sound an alert across the state, police said.

"We have sounded general alert across the state following the explosion at a bakery shop," Dalton P Marak, the police chief of West Garo Hills district, said.

The explosion took place at 6.45 pm when unidentified people lobbed the crude bomb from a moving vehicle at the bakery shop in Tura market, injuring seven people, Marak said.

Of the seven injured persons, four have been admitted in a government-run hospital, while the three were released after receiving first aid, the police official said.

"The blast is mainly to create fear psychosis in the minds of the people. We are still investigating into it and we are not ruling out the involvement of militant groups," Marak said.

Though, no militant groups have claimed responsibility for the blast, intelligence agencies suspected the involvement of the Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA), a rebel group operating in the region.

"It could be the handiwork of the GNLA militants to create fear psychosis and divert security agencies' attention in the wake of the combing operation against them," an intelligence official said.

Security forces launched a massive combing operation in Garo Hills to rescue a transport official and his driver who were kidnapped by GNLA rebels on September 30, even as their whereabouts are still unknown.

Five armed GNLA rebels kidnapped R Syngkon, district transport officer of East Garo Hills district, and his driver from his official residence in Williamnagar in west Meghalaya after he failed to meet their extortion demand of Rs 60 lakh.

The GNLA, headed by police officer-turned-rogue Champion R Sangma, who is fighting for a sovereign Garoland in western Meghalaya, is believed to have links with the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (Isak-Muivah), the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) and the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB).

With the outlawed A'chik National Volunteers Council (ANVC) on a ceasefire agreement with the central government, the NSCN (IM) and the ULFA spawned several militant groups with the main intention of exploiting the lucrative extortion in the coal-rich areas of the Garo Hills region.

Condemning the incident, former Lok Sabha speaker Purno A. Sangma, the local legislator from Tura assembly constituency, asked the government to immediately find out the perpetrators and bring them to book.

Five Killed in Maoist Mine Attack in Bihar​

MUZAFFARPUR/MOTIHARI: A landmine blast triggered by Maoists more than 36 hours before the second phase of assembly polls on Sunday killed a police officer, four cops and a jeep driver in Sheohar constituency of north Bihar.

Policemen led by Shyampur Bhataha SHO Praveen Kumar were returning to the police station in two jeeps after arranging the stay of central forces at Fulkaha School late on Friday night when Maoists blew up Jhitkahi bridge.

The body of driver, homeguard jawan Harishankar Shahi, was found 20ft away from the spot. The three cops and SHO killed in the incident have been identified as Mahesh Singh, Bharat Mahto, Jaikishore and Paramhans.

The lone survivor, SAP jawan Sushil Kumar, has been admitted to SK Medical College Hospital. His condition is critical. Ravindra Prasad, another SAP jawan who was in the other jeep, said the poor security measures have demoralized cops engaged in election duty.

The blast also exposed chinks in poll preparations in Sheohar, one of the worst-hit Maoist districts of Bihar. The district is yet to be declared a Maoist-hit constituency.

DIG (Tirhut Range) Pankaj Darad, who is camping at Sheohar since Friday night, said combing operation was on with the help of central forces. Meanwhile, the blast has triggered fear among voters in neighbouring Madhuban, Chiraiya and Dhaka assembly constituencies in East Champaran district, which are going to polls on Sunday.

A red alert has been sounded in 22 police stations located in these three constituencies on India- Nepal border. East Champaran DM-cum-district election officer Narmadeshwar Lal said adequate forces have already been deployed in these five constituencies to prevent any Maoist attack.

Rebels kill 14 Hindi-speaking people in India

Tribal separatists in northeast India shot dead at least 14 people in three attacks on Monday, police said, adding that the targets were Hindi-speakers.

The outlawed National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) fired at a passenger bus in Sonitpur district, about 250km north of Assam's main city Guwahati, killing eight passengers.

"All those killed were Hindi-speaking people hailing from eastern state of Bihar and working as government employees," said Assam's police chief Shankar Baruah.

In another incident five people, including a woman, were killed after NDFB militants opened fire near Belseri village, also in Sonitpur district.

In the third attack a Hindi-speaker was killed in Nalbari district in western Assam.

Tension has simmered for years in Assam, with rebels and local leaders complaining that Hindi-speaking migrants from the northern Ganges plain are changing the demographics of the state and taking local jobs.

In 2000 several separatist groups carried out a campaign against Hindi-speaking people, killing 150 of them.

Maoist Supporter Shot Dead, 13 Policemen Injured in West Bengal
​

KOLKATA: A suspected Maoist supporter was killed and 13 policemen were injured in a clash between Maoists and security personnel in West Bengal's West Midnapore district early Thursday, police said.

Thirteen policemen who raided a Maoist meeting in Chunapara area in Jhargram sub-division were injured after coming under attack from Maoists armed with bricks and batons.

Police then shot dead a Maoist supporter and injured eight others.

It all began when police raided the area when the Maoists were holding a meeting with villagers, Additional Superintendent of Police Mukesh Kumar said over telephone.

"Using women and children as a shield, the Maoists attacked the security personnel," he said.

Uttam Kumar Debbath, officer-in-charge of the Sankrail police station, was thrashed by a mob.

Debnath was rushed to the Midnapore Medical College and Hospital in critical condition. The Maoists looted a few firearms, including an AK-47 of the officer.

A huge contingent of police rushed to the spot and shot dead the Maoist supporter.

The Trinamool Congress claimed that the dead man was its supporter.

West Midnapore district party president Pranab Basu accused the police of firing indiscriminately.

Maoists Kill Four Persons in West Bengal
​

KOLKATA: Four persons, including two Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPM) activists and the mother of a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) trooper, were killed Monday by suspected Maoist guerrillas in West Midnapore district of West Bengal, police said.

"A CPM leader of Patashimul village was shot dead in the afternoon, while the bodies of Sandhyarani Mahato, Rashbihari Mahato and Owahed Ali of Ganakkata village in Jhargram sub-division were found in the morning," said Jhargram police district superintendent Praveen Tripathi.

A group of four-five Maoists, riding on motorbikes, attacked former CPM rural body member of Patashimul panchayat - Kanai Rai - at his residence Monday afternoon, he said.

"The group dragged him out and shot him at point-blank range. His wife Basanti Rai tried to prevent the attack, and sustained a bullet injury on her left hand," Tripathi said.

She was rushed to Jhargarm sub-divisional hospital in critical condition.

"Kanai, who was away from home for over six months fearing Maoist attack, had returned this (Monday) morning," he said.

In a separate incident, a group of Maoist guerrillas attacked Ganakkata village in Jhargram sub-division Sunday night and dragged out Sandhyarani Mahato, Rashbihari Mahato and Owahed Ali from their houses. Their bullet-ridden bodies were recovered Monday morning.

Rashbihari was a CPM supporter while Owahed Ali was an employee of the local block office.

"During preliminary investigations, it was learnt that Sandhyarani was killed because her son is a jawan (trooper) of the CRPF," said additional superintendent of police (operations) Mukesh Kumar.

CRPF is involved in the ongoing anti-Maoist operations in Lalgarh and adjoining areas.

"Owahed was shot dead as his brother joined the state police as an assistant sub-inspector in Howrah district. Rashbihari was shot dead for allegedly working as a police informer," he said.

"It is a matter of concern as six people were killed in Jhargram by the Maoists in the last 48 hours. We are suspecting that the squad operating in the area, led by Sashadhar Mahato and Suchitra Mahato, is involved in the murder," he said.

Maoists are active in three western districts of the state - West Midnapore, Bankura and Purulia.
