On February 12, nine Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres, who were allegedly involved in the January 4, 2022, attack on former Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) Member of legislative Assembly (MLA) Gurucharan Nayak, have been arrested with arms and ammunition from villages adjoining Jheelruwa under Goilkera Police Station limits in West Singhbhum District of Jharkhand, reports The New Indian Express. Superintendent of Police Ajay Linda said some of their sympathisers, too, have been taken into custody. He added that a former mukhiya (village headman) was among the sympathisers, who was given the responsibility of inviting Nayak to a football match in Jheelruwa on January 4, while two other locals, Pradhan Koda and Pusa Lugun, were told to keep a tab on Police movement. Linda said some of the arrested Maoists were also responsible for killing a munshi (clerk) of the forest department and a villager, besides setting a Joseph Cyril Bamford (JCB) Excavator machine on fire. Three carbines, 42 rounds of live ammunition, Naxal [Left Wing Extremism, LWE] literature, one motorcycle and mobile phones, among other items, have been seized from the possession of the arrested Maoists. The identities of the arrested Maoists are yet to be ascertained.
