Tripura militants recruiting youth, warns intelligence
Agartala : In the lead-up to the Tripura assembly elections due next February, separatist groups in the state are recruiting tribal youths, an official statement here said Thursday.
In what is a first time for Tripura, a statement from the state police headquarters said: "It has been revealed that NLFT (National Liberation Front of Tripura) extremists are engaged in fresh recruitment of innocent tribal youths from the interior areas." "The guerillas are also trying to extort money from different agencies with the help of a section of surrendered extremists and their sympathisers," the statement added.
Last week Tripura Police arrested five NLFT militants, including a woman, and recovered Rs.2.5 million in cash, electronic gadgets and some secret documents. "The militants, who were arrested from a house on the outskirts of the city, were carrying money and electronic devices to pass on to their cadre in Bangladesh to procure arms.
They have revealed vital information about the terrorists possible activities in the coming months," a police spokesman told reporters here. The police have also appealed to all surrendered militants, as well as to the youths, not to heed the call of extremists. "The police authority has also urged misguided youths to leave the path of violence and join the mainstream of society," the statement added.
Meanwhile, police have recovered a sophisticated foreign-made revolver and some ammunition from a house in the state capital. Tripura s two militant secessionist outfits - NLFT and the All Tripura Tiger Force (ATTF), both banned by the Indian authorities - have set up bases in Bangladesh, and receive support from other separatist outfits of the northeast. "Currently, the number of NLFT cadres is 150 to 155, and the ATTF has 10 to 12 guerillas," Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar recently told the state assembly, quoting intelligence reports.
Tripura has successfully controlled the 45-year-old phenomenon of secessionist terrorism in the state, which borders Bangladesh. The chief minister also told the state assembly that militants who surrendered after 1998 have come under the rehabilitation scheme announced by the central government.
"Under the package, each surrendered militant is getting Rs.150,000 as allowance besides other facilities," Sarkar said, adding that the state government has asked the centre to modify the package so that all the surrendered extremists come under the scheme.
"During the past 14 years, 1,705 extremists of different outfits have surrendered to the government. Of the 1,705 surrendered militants, 1,285 have been given economic rehabilitation and embarked on a new life with their families," Sarkar said.

ULFA cadre nabbed with Chinese grenade
Guwahati : A joint team of Assam Police and the army Wednesday morning arrested one youth and recovered a Chinese grenade from his possession. Police later claimed the youth, identified as Nabajit Baishya, was a member of the anti-talk faction of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) led by Paresh Baruah, who is living in exile somewhere in northern Myanmar.
"Based on a tip-off, we have carried out a search operation on a bus at Sipajhar in Darrang district Wednesday morning and arrested Nabajit Baishya. The anti-talk ULFA cadre was on his way to Tezpur from Guwahati," police said, adding that Baishya hails from Tihu in Lower Assam s Nalbari district.
Police suspected that Baishya procured the grenade from some other cadre of the outfit and was on his way to Tezpur to carry out some subversive activities in that town.
On Saturday last, police seized 12 grenades and six detonators from a bus on the remote Indo-Bhutan border in Lower Assam s Kokrajhar district and arrested two persons for possessing those.

16 naxalites killed in Dantewada encounter with CRPF - Rediff.com India News naxalites were killed and six Central Reserve Police Force personnel injured after a fierce overnight encounter in the jungles of Dantewada in Chhattisgarh.
The encounter, which took place in the jungles of Silger, a "liberated" Maoist zone between the naxal hotbed of Jagargunda and Basaguda in Dantewada, was launched on Thursday night by the CRPF from three directions.
Two Maoists have also been arrested after the encounter.
The encounter is significant as this is the first time that the central force has recovered these many bodies of naxals. The arrested Maoists have been airlifted to the state capital Raipur.
Official sources said six CRPF men, including two CoBRA commandos, have sustained bullet injuries and they have been air-lifted for medical aid.
Preliminary reports suggest that the casualty figures of the naxalites could increase as information from deep inside the jungles is trickling in slowly.
This is the same area, close to Chintalnar, where naxals have carried out the biggest ever attack on security forces killing 75 CRPF men and one state police personnel in April 2010.
According to the sources, the CRPF has mobilised three units of commandos and regular troops, aided by two helicopters for the encounter. Firing is still on and the force has rushed in additional troops and logistics to the area in the wee hours on Friday.

Maoists used villagers as human shield: C’garh CM
At a time when human rights activists and opposition Congress in Chhattisgarh are questioning the CRPF-police version of encounter against the Maoists in which 19 persons were killed and claiming that many of the victims were innocent tribals, Chief Minister Raman Singh on Monday claimed the left wing insurgents used children and women as “shields”.
Putting the blame for the casualties squarely on the rebels, he said if any innocent person was killed or injured, then the Maoists must be held responsible for it as they often use innocent villagers as back-up for themselves during such gunfight and use them as “human shields”.
“If innocents were killed then it is the Naxals who are responsible. Naxals keep innocent villagers as back up for themselves. Congress should not politicise the matter,” he said. While Singh defended the state police and attacked the Maoists, demands for a thorough investigation into the incident grew.
After the CPI, the CPM too demanded a “time-bound judicial inquiry” into what it called “highly condemnable” incidents of “indiscriminate firing and actions” by the CRPF and the Chhattisgarh Police. It said 19 persons, including two schoolchildren, were shot dead or were “brutally axed to death”.
“The truth must be established about the Centre and the state government’s claims of an encounter between armed Maoists and its forces. The terrible plight of villagers, mainly tribals, caught in the violence between the Maoists on the one hand and the state forces on the other has led to a wide questioning of the methods used by the forces in the name of fighting Maoists which ends up targeting the most exploited sections of our society,” the CPM Politburo said.

Maoists kill son of BJD leader
Bolangir (Odisha), July 11, 2012, (PTI):
Barely three days after the killing of a former Naib Sarpanch in Malkangiri district, armed Maoists killed the son of a ruling BJD leader and block Chairman in Bolangir district early today, police said.
About 30 heavily armed ultras, including women, struck at the house of Khaprakhol block Chairman Ganeshram Bhoi at village Sanaguchibhata in the wee hours looking for his son Sashiram Bhoi (42), they said.
On being told by the family members that Sashi was away, the Maoists went out but re-entered the house soon to find Sashi inside and tied him to a pole after overpowering his brother and others, they said.
The red rebels thrashed Sashi with rifle **** before killing him with a bayonet, a police official said adding Ganeshram was not present when the incident took place.
The ultras left a poster written in Odia and bearing the name of Bargarh-Bolangir-Mahasamund Divisisional Committee of CPI (Maoist) which accused Sashi of exploiting naxals and misusing their name for his own benefit, the official said.
Combing was intensified in the area by the security forces after the killing, which was the third in Patnagarh sub-division of Bolangir district this year, he said adding Ganeshram Bhoi had received threats from the red rebels earlier.
The killing came three days after the Maoists gunned down a former Naib Sarpanch of Markapadar in Malkangiri district suspecting him to be a police informer.
Barely a week ago, members of Peoples Liberation Front of India (PLFI) shot BJD leader and former Rajgangpur chairman Hardeep Singh dead.
On Monday, Maoists abducted two tribals of Elengabalsa village in Koraput protesting the arrest of two of their supporters.
A group of armed ultras set ablaze several road building machines in Orkel area of Malkangiri district yesterday, sources said.

Report by Kishore Dash, Rayagada: IN a huge haul, the district police and 8th Battalion of Central Reserve Police Forces (CRPF) unearthed a huge explosives and arms dump near Saplaguda forest area under Maoist hotbed Chandrapur police limits on Tuesday evening.
Basing on the input given by Ramesh Tama@ Dasarath@Lakshmu, the self-styled Deputy Commander of Kashipur-Niyamgiri division who was nabbed recently, the cops raided the forest area bordering Andhra Pradesh and found the dump, told Superintendent of Police Anoop Krishna in a press note.
Better known as an IED expert, Deputy Commander (SLR Cadre) Dasarath, a native of Bijapur district in Chhatisgarh along with Kmbulu Majhi, @ Abhilas and Chinatamani Majhi were apprehended last week by the Rayagada police during an anti-Maoist operation Kashipur Tikiri PS area while they were on the way to Barigaon village under Laxmipur police limits in Koraput district.

Key Maoist leader Arnab held in Purulia
KOLKATA: Arnab Dam alias Bikram, a Maoist state committee member, was arrested in a Purulia village on Monday. This is the biggest success for security forces in Jangalmahal since the killing of Kishanji in November last year. Arnab had an AK-47 and 30 bullets but did not put up a fight.
An IIT-Kharagpur dropout, 31-year-old Arnab was the mastermind behind gruesome incidents like the murder of seven members of a Forward Bloc family, and the abduction and murder of police inspector Partha Sarathi Biswas and teacher Saumyajit Basu in Purulia in the last three-four years, say police.
Pressure from security forces and the killings of some of his trusted aides in encounters pushed him deeper and deeper into the Jharkhand border. The rigours of being constantly on the run took a toll on his health and he contracted tuberculosis.
"Security forces had information that Arnab would come to meet someone at Biramdih village in Balarampur on the foothills of Ayodhya hill range on Monday night. We were waiting for him," said DIG Midnapore range L K Meena. Sources said Bikram has already helped police recover three.303 rifles hidden in a village.
Arnab, a science graduate, is a resident of Subhashgram near Sonarpur, South 24-Parganas, barely 20km from the city. His father is a retired judicial magistrate. He joined the Maoist student and youth wings in college and in 2001, expressed his wish to join the underground wing. Within a week, he was taking arms training in Jharkhand. He later sent to Chhattishgarh for further training.
His educational background and sharp political knowledge quickly took him close to the senior leadership of the outfit and he was inducted as an important member of the party's Bengal state committee. He started his underground rebel career as Rakesh and was given charge of Purulia and the Bengal-Jharkhand border zone. As a leader of party's border regional committee he worked under the name of Surya. Another young Maoist leader Ranjit Pal alias Tarit was deputed to assist Arnab in Purulia.
While Arnab worked on widening the political base of Maoists, Tarit was in charge of the military wing. They turned parts of Purulia into a liberated zone. Using the treacherous terrain of the Ayodhya range and the adjoining Dalma hills, they struck terror in villages. The Tarit-Arnab pair turned the Ayodhya platoon into the most deadly PLGA team in Bengal, say police.
During the Lalgarh agitation, when Arnab took the alias Bikram, he and Tarit were asked to lead the border zone under the direct command of the party's "eastern regional bureau" while Kishanji was camping in Jhargram. They floated the Adibasi Mulabasi Janaganer Committee in Purulia as a frontal mass outfit like the Peoples Committee Against Police Atrocities in Lalgarh.
Arnab was allowed to issue press releases, which suggests his importance in the party ranks. Party insiders say his political thought often clashed with Kishanji's and his press releases sometimes didn't match the party state committee line. Soon after the assembly polls, he was instructed to stop issuing separate press releases. Cornered, his situation became difficult when Tarit was withdrawn from the Purulia front. In the middle of the internal turmoil, the Purulia Maoist unit lost several important members. Some were arrested, many others killed.
Bikram was forced to retreat with a small band of rebels into the remotest parts of the Ayodhya range. Sources hinted that the differences of political opinion Arnab had with the leadership may have led him to part ways with the party. Police feel confident that with his help they can track down Tarit and get details of the Maoist strategy.
