last day of the PLGA week they killed him. Sombaru is survived by his wife and five children including four sons and a daughter. After the incident the police are yet to reach the spot.

(Pioneer, 10/12/2010) Maoists kill 2 villagers in Sundargarh, 1 in Koraput Just a few days after three villagers were killed in Topadih village the Maoists again killed two villagers branding them as police informers in Nangalakata village under K Bolanga police station on Thursday morning. Within a span of four days five villagers have been killed. Police sources said in the morning about 200 armed Maoists barged into Nangalakata village bordering Saranda forest and forced six villagers to walk to a school building and killed two of them, Anup Singh and Bisra Singh, by slitting their throats. However, they set the others free. About 58 villagers of Topadihi village and its nearby areas had met Rourkela Superintendent of Police seeking protection from the Maoists and employment a month back. Though, they were assured all help but that assurance remained an assurance. Now it is an uphill task for the administration to win back the people to its fold after reports said the Maoist have set up camps in the adjacent areas and trying to wean away the tribal youth to join their fold. Meanwhile, in the undivided Koraput district during the PLGA week observed by the Maoist from December 2 to 8, no untoward incident was reported except for putting up of a number of banners and posters in different places of Koraput and Malkangiri district. On the last day of the PLGA week on Wednesday the Maoists killed a former CMAS member of Odiapentha village, three km from Narayanapatna after tying his hands behind the back. Accoring to information received at about 11.30 pm on Wednesday, around 50 armed Maoists including a woman in uniform reached Odiapentha village in Narayanapatna block, 80 kilometres from Koraput district headquarters. They knocked at the doors of Sombaru Huika (38) and asked him to come outside for a meeting. While Sombaru came outside they took him about 20 feet away and hit him on the head with a lathi following which Sombaru got injured and fell on the road. They then tied his hands behind his back and killed him by slitting his throat. Sources said that Sombaru was an active member of Chasi Mulia Adibasi Sangh (CMAS) and a few days back had surrendered himself before the Narayanapatna police. He was a tractor driver but leaving the work presently he used to earn his livelihood by cultivating his own land. After his surrender he was targeted by the Maoists and on the very last day of the PLGA week they killed him. Sombaru is survived by his wife and five children including four sons and a daughter.

After Sombaru’s widow Enki Huika lodged an FIR before the Narayanapatna police station, the police reached the spot in the afternoon, and seized the body and after post mortem handed it over to the relatives of Sombaru.

(Pioneer, 10/12/2010) Reports of ISI link: Indian Social Institute, says Sen's wife RAIPUR: The wife of civil rights activist Binayak Sen, who is facing charges of colluding with Naxals, today expressed shock over reports that the prosecution tried to link the couple to 'ISI' during arguments at a court here. She told TV news channel that the ISI mentioned in an e-mail sent by her which was reportedly referred to by the public prosecutor was Indian Social Institute, a reputed Delhi-based research and advocacy organisation. Sen, a People's Union of Civil Liberties leader who was in jail for two years before being granted bail by the Supreme Court in May last year, has been accused by Chhattisgarh police of acting as a courier for a jailed Naxal leader. According to media reports, during closing arguments of Sen's trial here, the public prosecutor tried to link him and his wife Elina to an international terror network. "Elina Sen has also written an e-mail to one Fernandes from the ISI. We do not know if this is the Pakistan's ISI, but there is some significance to this," he reportedly said. Expressing shock over the report, Elina said the ISI referred here is Indian Social Institute. "In fact, yesterday among the many things I did in Delhi (before coming to Raipur last night) was to visit the Indian Social Institute, which is what is referred to as ISI in the story," she said. If the prosecution is "resorting to this at this stage of the trial when not a shred of evidence has come against my husband, it really points to their desperation," she said. (TOI, 12/12/2010) Police fabricated evidence in Binayak Sen case: defence Lawyer highlights inconsistencies in account of events described by the Investigating Officer On the third day of the closely watched trial of celebrated doctor and activist Binayak Sen, the defence focussed on Piyush Guha, a Kolkata businessman who, along with suspected Maoist leader Narayan Sanyal, is accused of conspiring with Dr. Sen to assist the urban operations of the banned Communist Party of India (Maoist). The prosecution claims that Mr. Guha was arrested on May 6, 2007 near the Raipur railway station with Maoist publications and three letters allegedly written by Narayan Sanyal in jail and passed on by Dr. Sen. The defence countered and said Mr. Guha was picked up on May 1, 2007, and illegally detained for a week before the police staged his arrest. Mr. Guha's lawyer, S.K. Farhan, pointed that the prosecution has not produced a single eye-witness, letter, phone transcript or call-log linking Mr. Guha to Dr. Sen. The prosecution's case rests on the testimony of one Anil Kumar Singh, a cloth merchant who claims to have been present at the time of Mr. Guha's arrest. In court, Mr. Singh claimed to have overheard Mr. Guha saying that Dr. Sen had given him Sanyal's letters, thereby establishing a link between the three. Today, the defence sought to highlight the inconsistencies in the account of events described by Investigating Officer B.S. Jagrit. “Jagrit is no less than superman,” said Mr. Farhan. “According to his statements, he is everywhere, all the time, and works faster than any mortal I have seen,” he said, drawing attention to Mr. Jagrit's testimony that he managed to arrest Mr. Guha, search him twice, find two witnesses, complete all the paperwork consisting of personal search memos, arrest memos and seizure memos, apply for (and receive) written permission from Senior Superintendent of Police B.S. Maravi and deposit all seized items in the police safe house in about 90 minutes. (The Hindu, 14/12/2010) Finally, Army moves into Maoist territory RAIPUR: The Indian army is moving into the conflict theatre of Bastar, arriving at the doorsteps of what is arguably the strongest military base of the CPI Maoist - not for combat, as yet, but ostensibly for training. "Manoeuvre ranges have been finalised in Narayanpur district where training will be given to our troops," confirmed a highly placed official in the army. Significantly, the hundred square kilometres identified for training lie in the foothills of Abujhmad, a thickly forested plateau, straddling both Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra, one of the only regions of India unsurveyed by the government, considered out of bound for the administration, entirely controlled by insurgents, and often described as a Maoist liberated zone. While the army sought to emphasise that its plans are limited to training, and there will be no active troop deployment against the Maoist insurgency, sources in the security establishment said any training facility would necessitate logistical support. "This means the army would first secure the Kondagaon-Narayanpur axis, placing a large number of troops in a series of camps, before it moves inwards for the purpose of training, somewhere near Orcha in the foothills of Abujhmad" explained a senior official. Since the Maoists ambushed and killed more than hundred CRPF men in Bastar this summer - incidentally one of
