Cache of arms, IEDs recovered in anti-Maoist operation in Jharkhand's Latehar
Latehar (Jharkhand): Security forces have recovered a large cache of arms and explosives, including eight improvised explosive devices (IEDs), during an intensive anti-Maoist operation in the forested region of Netarhat in Jharkhand's Latehar district, officials said on Wednesday. According to police officials, Maoist cadres had planted the IEDs underground in the Tutapani forest and surrounding hilly terrain under Netarhat police station limits to target security personnel patrolling the area. Each IED weighed around 0.5 kg. These were safely neutralised on-site by the bomb disposal squad, police said. The discovery came amid an ongoing operation launched after an encounter on May 26 in which Maoist commander Manish Yadav, carrying a reward of Rs 5 lakh, was killed. During the same operation, zonal commander Kundan Kherwar, with a bounty of Rs 10 lakh on his head, was apprehended. Following the encounter, Latehar SP Kumar Gaurav ordered a massive cordon-and-search operation in the region. Acting on intelligence inputs, joint teams from Manika and Garu police stations, along with personnel from the Indian Reserve Battalion (IRB) B Set-147, combed the area intensively. Latehar police stated that the recoveries during the search operation included a 7.62 mm rifle, a 9 mm carbine, forty live cartridges of 7.62 mm and 5.56 mm, seventy-nine live cartridges of 9 mm, four SLR rifle magazines, four magazines of 9 mm carbine, a magazine cover for a 9 mm firearm, military-grade pouches, rifle cleaning rods and oil, and a Motorola wireless communication set. The recovered items suggest the kind of preparations the Maoist squad operating in the region had made. On May 26-27, security forces in the Hussainabad subdivision of neighbouring Palamu district gunned down another top Maoist leader, Tulsi Bhuiyan. An SLR rifle and other arms were seized from the site of that operation as well. Police have said that search and combing operations will continue in both districts to root out any remaining presence of Maoists and dismantle their logistical networks.

Jharkhand: CPI (Maoist) Manish Yadav with ₹5 lakh bounty killed in gunfight; another arrested
A senior police official said that a member of the banned CPI (Maoist), identified as Manish Yadav, who carried a bounty of ₹ 5 lakh on his head, was killed in a gunfight with security forces in Jharkhand's Latehar district on Monday, while another was arrested. This comes after two maoists were killed in an anti-Naxal operation on May 24. Another red rebel was arrested during the operation, he said. "Manish Yadav, who was carrying a reward of ₹ 5 lakh on his head, was killed in the gunfight with security forces. Another Maoist, Kundan Kherwar, was arrested," Palamu DIG YS Ramesh told PTI. Kundan is stated to be carrying a bounty of ₹ 10 lakh on his head. However, Ramesh said that the reward on Kundan's head is yet to be verified. The encounter between security forces and Maoists broke out in a forest in Dauna under the Mauhadand Police Station limits on Sunday night, he said. The operation was conducted barely two days after two Maoists, including JJMP supremo Pappu Lohra, who was carrying a bounty of ₹ 10 lakh on his head, were killed in an anti-Naxal operation by security forces in the district. On May 24, Lohra, the chief of the proscribed Jharkhand Jan Mukti Parishad (JJMP), a Maoist splinter group, and his associate Prabhat Ganjhu, the sub-zonal commander of the organisation, were killed during the operation. Ganjhu was carrying a bounty of ₹ 5 lakh on his head. The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and the Jharkhand Police conducted the joint operation in the Ichabar forest region, falling under the jurisdiction of the Latehar Police Station. Lohra was wanted in 98 cases, comprising murder, extortion, and arson, across several districts such as Lohardaga, Gumla, Chatra, Palamu, and Latehar. Ganjhu was wanted in 15 cases, according to Ramesh.
