Palamu police foiled a plan of the TSPC's ultras to affect and derail the assembly election in Panki constituency where polling is due on November 13. 

SP Reeshma Ramesan said the TSPC's ultras had a plan to affect the assembly election in Panki but the police aborted their plan. She declined to elaborate on what the planning was or how the TSPC's ultras were plotting to execute it. 

Ramesan said "We got their planning but it can't be bought in the public domain."

Naxals have different ways to derail elections. They torch the polling office of the contestant. Naxals have done it in Palamu in the past where the BJP polling office was torched. 

Attempts to kill or kidnap the contestants are also done by the naxals. Chhaterpur assembly constituency has seen such cases where naxals wanted to either kill or kidnap the contestants. 

The last nefarious game of the naxals is to terrorize the voters. They beat up the supporters of such a candidate whose electoral fortune the naxals want to destroy or finish. 

Ramesan refused to tick off any of these three plannings as mentioned above which the naxals invariably indulge in. 

Naxals go for anti electoral things all for hefty sums of money that comes from the contestant against a contestant!

Police have recovered one Ak 47 rifle, one desi pistol, one desi katta, 79 rounds of live fire of 7.62 mm bore cartridges and 2 cell phones. Police have also recovered TSPC's literature. 

Police have arrested 3 TSPC's ultras identified as Shrawan, Prem and Shantu who were remanded to judicial custody today. 

The TSPC's ultras were caught napping as they just couldn't put to use their  Ak 47. 

There was no exchange of fire between the combined team of Panki and Manatu police stations and the TSPC's ultras. 

Police team was led by SDPO Lesliganj Manoj Kr Jha. 

ASP (0peration) Rakesh Singh under the directives of the SP Reeshma Ramesan oversaw the cordon and search operation.

Palamu police outnumbered, outwitted and outsmarted the TSPC's ultras who had no inkling of the police reaching their throat so bravely.

SP Reeshma Ramesan said "The way our police got men and machines is both easy and difficult."

The TSPC's ultras were beneath a Sakhuwa tree near the infamous Karee Mati jungle under the Panki police station when they were swooped down by the police.
