CPI (Maoist) rebels’ plan to use bullets of AK 47 was foiled by latehar district police and CRPF. A joint collaboration of latehar DAP and CRPF on Wednesday recovered 701 live rounds of fire of AK 47. Along with it the joint team recovered 80 rounds of 9mm weapon. Two walkie talkie sets of Motorola company were among the seizures.
DIG police Palamu Saket Kumar Singh has confirmed the recovery of AK 47 ammunition along with 9 mm bullets at Sasang jungle on Wednesday.
DIG further informed that the security forces have recovered 22 naxal caps with bely, five bags of naxal literature, one fan one black uniform two computer keyboards 20 charger wooden butt one and electric motor one.
DIG said lady luck continues to smile upon the latehar SP Anoop Birtharey whose efforts and his team’s devotion are giving this district police and the CRPF deployed here good achievements.
DIG said ‘ The Maoists are passing through their bad patch as their AK 47 live rounds numbering more than 700 are being captured by the security forces’. Saket said ‘ Maoists rue two things most loss of life of their cadre or their weapon or ammunition’. Here one if takes the total of AK 47 and 9 mm then the recovery of live rounds is 781.
However DIG reminded that Maoists are down but to believe they are out will be a big miscalculation. He said our police and CRPF work out in a very co ordinate manner.
Recovery of two computer key boards suggest there must be some in in the Maoists squad whose fingers are adept in handling the key board. However there is no recovery of desk top. It is to be found out if the computer key boards are functional ones or a junk only.
Sources said in this police range of Palamu it is the latehar police out of three districts of this range that is waging a war against the Maoists as the Maoists are losing chemical, explosives, cans pressure cookers, iron pipes , ammunitions of AK 47 Insas rifles cartridges of 9 mm etc.
