Telangana DGP Declares CPI (Maoist) in Disarray Without Leadership
In a significant statement, Telangana Director General of Police (DGP) Shivadhar Reddy has asserted that the banned Communist Party of India (Maoist) is currently in a state of tatters, lacking effective leadership and clear direction. This assessment comes as part of ongoing security evaluations by state authorities.
Police Identify 11 State-Origin Naxals in Other Bureaus
Telangana police have conducted thorough investigations and identified approximately 11 Naxals with origins in the state who are now operating in other state bureaus of the outlawed CPI (Maoist) organization. This identification highlights the cross-regional activities of the group and the efforts by law enforcement to track its members.
The findings underscore a critical weakening of the Maoist structure, as noted by DGP Reddy. The police report indicates that without cohesive leadership, the outfit's operations have become fragmented, reducing its threat potential in certain areas.
This development is part of broader counter-insurgency measures, with authorities leveraging intelligence to monitor and disrupt Naxal networks. The identification of these 11 individuals is expected to aid in further investigations and potential arrests.
Key points from the police assessment include:
- The CPI (Maoist) is experiencing internal disorganization.
- Telangana-origin Naxals are active in other states, indicating mobility.
- Law enforcement continues to prioritize dismantling the banned outfit.
