On November 25, Superintendent Santosh Singh had issued a statement about recovering “one uniformed unidentified body” of a Maoist after “an exchange of fire” between the District Reserve Guard (DRG) and Maoists near Kongadaon district's Bevadi forest. The body was later identified to be Mr. Shori’s.
Mr. Singh denied allegations of a fake encounter. “He [Mr. Shori] was working for the Jantana Sarkar of Maoists in that area. He had many Maoist-related cases against him. He was still working for the Maoists and [was] killed in an encounter. He was out on bail this time, and was not acquitted by any court," Mr. Singh said.
Earlier, in August this year, an under-trial juvenile named Arjun was branded a Maoist after he was allegedly killed in a police encounter in Bastar district.

RAIPUR: A CRPF jawan was killed and another one injured today when the Naxals triggered an IED blast followed by firing in Chhattisgarh's insurgency-hit Dantewada district, police said.
The incident took place at around 11.15 AM when a joint team of Central Reserve Police Force's 231st battalion and district force was patrolling to ensure security to the under-construction Aranpur (Dantewada)-Jagargunda (Sukma) road which passes through the restive dense forests under Aranpur police station limits, a senior police official told PTI.
When the security men were cordoning-off a patch between Kondapara and Kondasawli villages, the Maoists detonated the improvised explosive device (IED) and started firing in which two head constables were injured, he said.
Reinforcement was rushed to the spot and the injured personnel were airlifted to Raipur for treatment, he said.
"Head constable Kamal Singh succumbed to his injuries while being airlifted to Raipur. Another head constable, Anil Kumar, was shifted to a hospital in the state capital," the official said, adding that both the personnel belong to the CRPF's 231st battalion.
The troopers have many a times suffered loss in the pressure IED blasts triggered by Naxals on this route in the recent past, he added.

Raipur, Dec 12, 2016 (PTI)
A villager was killed and another injured when they were reportedly caught in a crossfire between security forces and Maoists in Chhattisgarh's insurgency-hit Bijapur district today, police said.
The incident took place in the wee hours when joint team of CRPF's 168th battalion and district force was out on an anti-Maoist operation near Timmapur village under Basaguda police station limits, Bijapur Superintendent of Police KL Dhruv said.
Acting on inputs about the movement of rebels, security forces had launched the operation from its Timmmapur camp, around 450 kms away from here, to adjoining areas late last night, he said.
On way backclose to the camp, they came under fire from ultras prompting them to retaliate. However, the exchange of fire soon stopped after rebels escaped, he added.
During searches, they spotted two men who had reportedly sustained injuries in the cross fire, in the forests. They rushed the injured to Basaguda hospital where one of them was declared brought dead, the SP said.
"The deceased was identified as Punem Nandu, a native of Timmapur," he said adding that another injured man- Kaken Suklu- a resident of the same village, was undergoing treatment at Basaguda.
However, a CRPF official claimed that the deceased and injured villager could be jan-militia members who handle the village level operations of the Maoists.
"Investigation is being done to ascertain the background of both the villagers," the paramilitary official said on the condition of anonymity.
Notably, CRPF Director General K Durga Prasad is visiting Bijapur district today along with other paramilitary officials to inaugurate the newly set up camp of CRPF's 229th battalion.

She was a senior leader of the Western Ghats unit of the CPI(ML-Maoist) that is said to be active in parts of the Ghats that belong to Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Karnataka. Kuppu Devaraj, who was killed along with Ajitha, was a member of the party’s central committee.

NAGPUR: Suspected Maoists on Friday torched around 50 vehicles of Lloyd Metals mining company in Surajagad area of Gadchiroli district in eastern Maharashtra.
“Lloyd Metals company has been carrying out mining activities for its project in Surajagad area for over a month now. But Maoists have always opposed developmental works in Gadchiroli. At around 11 a.m. on Friday, around 400 to 500 Maoists came to the spot of this mining project on Surajagad hills and torched one pokland machine, one JSB, and 50 trucks,” the Gadchiroli police said in a statement.
“The Maoists apprehended all the drivers [of the vehicles] and labourers for over two to three hours and harassed them physically and mentally,” the statement added.
Locals and Maoists have been opposing mining activities in the area. Lloyd Metals began extracting iron ore in April this year, after a gap of eight years. In 2013, Maoists had killed three persons, including a senior executive, of the company in the same area.
They also issued a “warning” to all local politicians in May this year, calling them “the agents of capitalists” for allegedly helping Lloyd Metals in resuming its operations.

Chhattisgarh: One District Reserve Group personnel was also killed in the first exchange of fire with the Maoists. (Source: Google Maps)
http://indianexpress.com/article/india/five-maoists-killed-in-chhattisgarh-operation-4468784/
Five Maoists, including two commander-level cadre, were killed in two separate exchanges of fire during an operation launched by Chhattisgarh Police in Narayanpur district on Tuesday. Senior officials, however, said that one District Reserve Group (DRG) personnel was killed in the first exchange of fire with the Maoists.
Police officers said that the operation was launched in the highly sensitive Nayanpur district, considered the strongest bastion of Maoists, two days ago. Teams with close to 400 personnel entered the jungles in an area that is home to Maoist military company number two.
D M Awasthi, Special DG, anti-Maoist operations, told The Indian Express, “The operation was launched on a specific intelligence input about the presence of Maoists in the area. In the first exchange of fire in the morning in Irpenar, four Maoists were killed. One personnel was also hurt and evacuated, but he unfortunately passed away.”
Intermittent firing continued. In the second exchange of fire, this time in the adjoining Kanker district’s Koylibaeda area, one Maoist was killed and an AK-47 recovered from his possession.
In a major blow to the rebels, two of the five killed were divisional commanders in the Maoist hierarchy. The Maoists killed in the first exchange of fire have been identified as Tirupati, Divisional Commander, East Bastar division, Ratna Markam, medical in-charge, company number 6, Shyamu Yadav of company number 6 and Mangalram Salam, a Janmilitia member from Irpenar. The body recovered in the second encounter has been identified as that of Roshan, divisional commander of the North Bastar division.
“It is clear that there has been a big loss to the Maoists in this encounter. We have recovered the bodies, but our personnel have narrated stories of the Maoists dragging away other members of their party under the cover of LMG fire. This indicates that these could be senior cadre,” Awasthi added.

D M Awasthi, Special DG, anti-Maoist operations, told The Indian Express, “The operation was launched on a specific intelligence input about the presence of Maoists in the area. In the first exchange of fire in the morning in Irpenar, four Maoists were killed. One personnel was also hurt and evacuated, but he unfortunately passed away.”
Intermittent firing continued. In the second exchange of fire, this time in the adjoining Kanker district’s Koylibaeda area, one Maoist was killed and an AK-47 recovered from his possession.
In a major blow to the rebels, two of the five killed were divisional commanders in the Maoist hierarchy. The Maoists killed in the first exchange of fire have been identified as Tirupati, Divisional Commander, East Bastar division, Ratna Markam, medical in-charge, company number 6, Shyamu Yadav of company number 6 and Mangalram Salam, a Janmilitia member from Irpenar. The body recovered in the second encounter has been identified as that of Roshan, divisional commander of the North Bastar division.
“It is clear that there has been a big loss to the Maoists in this encounter. We have recovered the bodies, but our personnel have narrated stories of the Maoists dragging away other members of their party under the cover of LMG fire. This indicates that these could be senior cadre,” Awasthi added.

NAGPUR: Two civilians were allegedly killed by Maoists in Gadchiroli district of Maharashtra on Thursday.
“Ramesh Atala (27) and Manohar Atala (55), both residents of Chichoda village in Pendhri sub-division of Gadchiroli, were killed by Maoists...at their home,” a statement issued by Gadchiroli police read.
The statement said the Maoists shot the victims claiming they were police informers. However, the statement said the victims were “Maoist supporters”. It added that the victims were farmers and provided food to Maoists and travelled with them to nearby villages.
The police claimed that Maoists fear their influence is reducing in the district as developmental work by the administration has earned the confidence of tribals.
“They are trying to stop the developmental works. [They are] trying to attract youngsters, and pressurising those youngsters who work part-time for them, to join the Maoist organisation. Maoist supporters, who are opposing this, are being killed... and branded as police informers,” the statement said.
It added, “Four such young men have been killed by Maoists in recent times. ”
Two Maoists surrender
On the same day, two alleged members of the outlawed Communist Party of India (Maoist) — Jaganu Salam and Kaveram Salam — surrendered before the Narayanpur district Superintendent of Police, Abhishek Meena, according to a statement by the Chhattisgarh police.

A Naxal was gunned down in an encounter with security forces in Chhattisgarh’s Bastar district, police said on Sunday. The skirmish took place this morning between a joint team of security personnel and the ultras in Kandanar forest area under Darbha police station limits, Bastar Superintendent of Police Rajendra Narayan Dash told PTI.
The operation was launched last night by a composite squad of District Reserve Group (DRG) and district force based on inputs about the presence of ultras in the foot hills of restive Chandometa village near Tulsi Dongri, he said.
Chandometa is located on Chhattisgarh-Odisha border, about 55 kms from Darbha police station, which lies at a distance of about 370 kms from Raipur.
Today, when the security men were advancing to the specified location, a gun-battle broke out after a group of cadres opened fire on them, the SP said.
The encounter lasted for about an hour following which the rebels escaped.
During a search, the body of a male Maoist clad in ‘uniform’ besides a .303 rifle, its five live rounds, a SMBL (single barrel muzzle loading) rifle, couple of detonators, bags, Maoist literature and items of daily use were recovered from the spot, he said.
The identity of the killed rebel was yet to be ascertained as the security personnel were still inside the forest carrying out the operation and further details are awaited, Dash said.
With this, the total number Maoists killed in separate gun-battles in Bastar division this month has reached to 8, police said.
