Kishanji shot dead: Phone call to cadres helped security forces trap Kishanji in his 'den' - The Times of India
MIDNAPORE/KOLKATA: A phone call that Kishanji made on Wednesday night seeking reinforcements from Maoist cadres in Jharkhand proved to be his undoing.
Kishanji and Suchitra Mahato, widow of slain Maoist Sashadhar Mahato, were on the run since Tuesday midnight when some 1,000 CRPF jawans and policemen, led by CoBRA commandos, launched a massive assault on a specific tip-off. There were involved in gunbattles all through Wednesday and Suchitra was reportedly injured. The forces kept up the pursuit using night vision goggles, concentrating on the Jamboni-Binpur area, particularly Kushboni jungle and the nearby hamlets. On Wednesday night, they intercepted Kishanji's call.
At 9am on Thursday, joint forces raided the house of a college student, Dharmendra Mahato, in Bakshole. He is a final-year geography student at a Jhargram college and a Maoist supporter, said police. Police said Kishanji and Suchitra had taken shelter earlier at his home, about 20km from the Jharkhand border.
Dharmendra was away but CRPF jawans searched the house and found a laptop bag, allegedly Kishanji's, several maps marking out CRPF camps, and many letters written by Kishanji and Suchitra to Dharmendra. The forces suspect Suchitra had taken shelter there on Wednesday night. Realizing that Kishanji, too, couldn't have gone far, the forces accelerated their hunt. Five companies of the CRPF 187 Battalion, led by CoBRA commandos, moved into Burishole jungle, which spills into Jharkhand.
At the same time, CRPF units in Jharkhand were alerted and moved quickly to seal off escape routes in the vicinity of Ghidni railway station. CRPF forces converged from both sides. Kishanji was trapped. Around 4pm, the encounter started.
Thousands of rounds were exchanged. The Maoists fired mostly from automatic rifles, strengthening the forces' suspicion that it was a heavily armed unit protecting a top gun.
At 5.45pm, with darkness falling, the firing suddenly stopped from the Maoist side. "Our commandos quickly moved in and found a body closely resembling Kishanji," said a CRPF officer. Three more bodies were found. The hunt is on for Suchitra.
Bengal DGP Naparajit Mukherjee said an AK-47 rifle and Kishanji's hearing aid lay nearby. At least three more Maoists were killed.
Why independent media is not allowed to report news from bharat.
Why does he have to be shot? Does India not pride itself on rule of law? Why was he not arrested and put on trial so people can determine if he is truly guilty?
I think there are many politicians who will go down if he has the opportunity to speak out in court, so he had to be silenced.
That is commendable but the women in India are still highly repressed, with India ranking behind Iran in women's rights, while China ranks ahead of Germany.

I also heard that the Maoists were tribals who were equivalent to dalits in the caste system, is that true?
Is it also true that Dalits are not allowed to bicycle in upper caste areas?
The Hindu : States / Tamil Nadu : In Perali village, Dalits can't cycle in upper caste areas
I think communism would be a great solution to India's problems.
dude you know nothing about maoists. That guy has his bodyguard surrounded .they were on the run. There was heavy gunbattle thats why he was killed.it has all happened in deep jungle in night.
Tell me how many taliban us army captures and takes to court.
I dont think any politician is involved because there own cadres were killed by maoists. Only link they have with is some so called 'intellectual?' who want fame.
Are Taliban US citizens in the US? Well, bad example seeing how the US military police is shooting protestors in Oakland, but you understand the difference right?
Are Maoists Indian citizens in India? India has very strict gun laws, how did the Maoists get their guns? Only politicians, the mafia and rich businessmen could smuggle the guns to them, and we all know that in India, these 3 are closely linked.

I cannot believe Indians are cheering the state sponsored murder of another Indian!
It goes to show that political freedom is not free, Maoists and others cannot work within the current system, otherwise they will continue being repressed by India's military police.
