CASR Condemns The Extrajudicial Killing Of CPI Leader Madvi Hidma: India

*Campaign Against State Repression (CASR) Condemns the Extrajudicial Killing of CPI (Maoist) Leader Madvi Hidma; Rule of Law Cannot Be Suspended in Bastar*

On 18 November 2025, Madvi Hidma, the youngest member of the Central Committee of the CPI (Maoist) and an Adivasi from Bastar, was murdered in a fake encounter along with his wife Rajakka and five other members of the party. Hidma and the others were illegally abducted when they were unarmed, from a shelter where they had been staying since the 28th of last month. They were then tortured and murdered in a fake encounter. This is a brazen violation of the rule of law, constitutional safeguards, and past Supreme Court directives.

Since the beginning of Operation Kagaar on 1 January 2024, the Brahmanical Hindutva Fascist Indian state has stepped up its killing spree in Bastar and other Adivasi areas. In its bid to crush the armed and unarmed mass movements going on against corporate plunder of natural resources and displacement in Central India, it has killed over 500 people, which includes armed and unarmed Maoists and civilians. It has made a mockery of the rule of law and civil and democratic rights.

In all these encounters and extrajudicial killings, the Indian state has repeatedly violated Article 21 of the Indian Constitution, which guarantees the right to life with dignity to every citizen. In the judgment of Om Prakash & Ors. vs. State of Jharkhand (2012), the Supreme Court said that “fake encounters are nothing but state-sponsored terrorism.” And in Prakash Kadam vs. Ramprasad Vishwanath Gupta (2011), it stated, “fake encounters are nothing but cold-blooded brutal murders by persons who are supposed to uphold the law.” In PUCL vs. State of Maharashtra (2014), the Supreme Court held that every encounter death must be treated as a case of culpable homicide and investigated through an independent FIR, a magisterial inquiry, full forensic preservation of evidence, and immediate NHRC intimation. The Court made clear that police cannot act as judge, jury, and executioner, and that the right to life under Article 21 applies even to insurgents and accused persons.

The Indian state has also repeatedly violated the guidelines of the United Nations Human Rights Declaration (UNHRD), of which it is a signatory. Operation Kagaar stands in clear violation of these standards, which require that lethal force be used only as a last resort, that all encounter deaths be independently investigated, and that even armed insurgents be guaranteed due process. Instead, Kagaar has normalized extrajudicial killings, replaced arrest with execution, and subjected Adivasi communities to indiscriminate militarization and collective punishment. By abandoning the UN principles of necessity, proportionality, distinction, and accountability, the operation undermines the rule of law and effectively suspends fundamental rights in Bastar.

We condemn this fake encounter of Madvi Hidma and the ruthless crushing of people’s movements being conducted by Adivasi and non-Adivasi people against corporate loot.

We demand:

1. An independent committee consisting of retired judges and human rights advocates must be formed to investigate these extrajudicial killings.

2. Proper postmortem must be conducted with full videography, and the dead bodies must be handed over to their families, unlike in the case of former Maoist Party General Secretary Namballa Kesava Rao.

3. FIRs must be registered for those security personnel responsible for the encounter killing, as per Supreme Court guidelines.

4. Operation Kagaar and the Surajkund Scheme must be immediately halted.

CRPF Jawan Injured In IED Blast Allegedly Triggered By Naxalites In Sukma District

A jawan of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) was injured when a pressure Improvised Explosive Device (IED), allegedly planted by Naxalites, went off in Chhattisgarh’s Sukma district on Sunday, a police official announced to the press today.

According to the police official, the incident took place at 1.45 pm in the forested hills near Gogunda under Fulbagdi police station limits when a team of security personnel was out on an area domination operation.

The jawan, belonging to the CRPF’s 74th battalion, inadvertently came in contact with the pressure IED triggering the blast, causing injuries to his legs, the police official stated in his report.

The police official concluded his remarks by declaring that after preliminary treatment, the injured jawan was being airlifted to Raipur for further medication.

CPI Statement On The Murders Of Comrades Katta Ramachandra Reddy And Kadari Satyanarayana Reddy

The story of an encounter being told by the police is false. Our two Central Committee members, Comrades Katta Ramachandra Reddy and Kadari Satyanarayana Reddy, were arrested and later murdered!

Condemn these murders.

Our DKSZC pays tribute to our two CC members, Comrade Katta Ramachandra Reddy alias Raju Dada and Comrade Kadari Satyanarayana Reddy alias Kosa Dada, who sacrificed their lives in a fake encounter in Chhattisgarh’s Narayanpur district on September 22. Our SZC also pays tribute to our CC members, Modem Balakrishna alias Manoj Dada, Sahadev Soren, SZC member Comrade Patu, Comrade Vijay, DVC level comrades Lokesh, Sumitra, Vimala and other comrades who were martyred.

This encounter is a lie. The story being told by the police officers is fabricated. The truth is different. The CC had given these two comrades some different responsibilities; 10 months ago, they left to fulfill their new responsibilities. Comrades Raju Dada and Kosa Dada were arrested unarmed from Raipur city or from some other place between September 11 and 20. We have news that they were safe till the 10th. Our CC comrades received a letter from them. After their arrest, they must have been tortured for secret party information. Finally, they were brought to the Maad area on the 22nd and killed. A massive operation was launched for these killings from the 21st of this month is still going on.

Everyone should protest against the fake encounter of these comrades.

Our SZC expresses its deepest condolences and sorrow to the family members and friends of Comrade Raju Dada and Comrade Kosa Dada. The loss of these comrades, who are experienced in various fields, is certainly an irreparable loss to the revolutionary movement of India. The entire revolutionary camp is deeply worried by these continuous losses. We will fight till the end to achieve the goals for which these comrades sacrificed their lives.

How did the intelligence department manage to reach those two comrades? We will discuss the possibilities based on the information we have. Considering the various reports circulating in the media, we are forced to make this statement.

Firstly, Comrade Raju Dada and Kosa Dada have not been in the forests with the guerrilla forces for some time. Many people who came to know about this have surrendered to the police and informed the police authorities. The people who surrendered ranged from the SZC level to ordinary members. Secondly, the police department has also come to know who was responsible for the internal coordination with these people. Thirdly, when these people left, two or three people who were part of the security team also surrendered; they are currently actively working in the DRG. This surrendered DRG officer also told the authorities about the courier who went with Comrade Kosa Dada. Not only this, they came with police personnel and took the courier away from his house on August 13 (he did the job he was told for two to three months, after which he decided to stay at home). There are reports that he was tortured. He must have told them where they took him and who met him there. This may have revealed the name of the main courier. By intercepting that link, the intelligence officers must have reached the courier.

Reaching Raju Dada is easy. Fourth, another possibility is that the courier where these people are based may have been weakened; they may have gone to visit their family members and friends. In his last letter in September, Comrade Raju Dada wrote about some of the weaknesses of this courier. He also informed the local CC comrades about the possibility of problems arising. He advised his comrades to be vigilant, saying that danger was approaching from these surrenders and traitors. This was explained more clearly in the last letter, but I cannot say whether they had a chance to read it.

Continuous surrenders are becoming the main reason for every loss.

ICSPWI Call For Mobilization On The Occasion Of Martyrs’ Week 2025 In India

The ICSPWI (International Committee to Support the People’s War in India) calls on MLM organizations and parties, all communist organizations and parties, revolutionaries, progressives, and sincere democrats, to mobilize in support of the People’s War in India and its leading party, the Communist Party of India (Maoist), on the occasion of Martyrs’ Week 2025 (July 28th – August 3rd).

The blood shed by the Indian revolutionary martyrs who fell for the New Democratic Revolution in India, the first step towards Socialism and Communism, must be honored: it is the blood shed by our comrades who are ready for the ultimate sacrifice to free India from the semi-feudal and semi-colonial yoke and from bureaucratic capitalism in the service of imperialism.

India is not only the largest country in the world, with approximately 1.5 billion people, but it is also the country ruled by Modi’s Hindutva (fascism with Hindu characteristics) regime and the main bastion of Yankee imperialism as well as the main supporter of the Zionist regime in South Asia and the world.

The Indian revolution (Protracted People’s War) has been active since 1969. Over the decades, it has succeeded in liberating millions of proletarians, peasants, and tribal people from feudal and caste oppression in the areas where it spread, covering an area inhabited by over 50 million people from the far north of the Indian subcontinent to the southern states of Kerala and Karnataka.

The Communist Party of India (Maoist) is virtually the largest armed revolutionary party in absolute terms by number of comrades, mobilizing sectors of the masses through trade unions, women’s organizations, environmental organizations, and adivasis (tribals) and casteless groups. The PLGA numbers approximately 20,000 armed men, not counting local popular militias.

This great revolution is now entering a crucial phase: Modi’s Hindutva regime, through a brutal and genocidal military operation supported by imperialism and Zionism (using know-how and drones supplied directly by the Zionist Israeli state), Operation Kagaar, which involves tens of thousands of police, paramilitary forces, and the army, declares it will “defeat Maoism” in the country by April 2026.

As this deadline approaches, Operation Kagaar is intensifying: last May, the general secretary of the Communist Party of India (Maoist) himself, along with 27 other comrades and guerrillas, fell in combat after resisting a two-day encirclement by over 2,000 paramilitaries.

In recent months, hundreds of people, not only revolutionaries but also villagers and tribals, have been massacred during this military operation.

Indian civil society has called on the government to immediately stop this “war against the people” and accept the CPI (Maoist)’s proposal to initiate negotiations, but Modi’s Hindutva regime not only continues its course but also labels these activists “urban Maoists,” repressing them as well.

Fourteen years ago, on July 1st, Comrade Azad, a member of the party’s central committee and political bureau, was killed in a fake encounter. He was arrested and subsequently killed in cold blood.

A few months later, on November 24, 2011, Comrade Kishenji, a member of the party’s political bureau, was martyred in another fake encounter.

The martyrs of the Indian revolution are the best sons of the Indian people who sacrificed their lives not only for the liberation of India, but of the entire world, from exploitation, contributing to the World Proletarian Revolution.

Since October 7, 2023, the Communist Party of India (Maoist) has actively supported the Palestinian resistance, despite the difficulties it is experiencing, organizing support and propaganda actions in India.

It is therefore an internationalist duty to support this advanced revolutionary experience and remember its martyrs, who are also ours.

ICSPWI therefore calls for mobilization in all countries of the world on the occasion of the CPI (Maoist) Martyrs’ Week from July 28 to August 3, and in accordance with the specific objective and subjective conditions in each country, organizing:

Actions and protests at Indian embassies and consulates
Support meetings
Propaganda actions in factories, workplaces, among struggling workers and peasants, in working-class neighborhoods, and in universities

The martyrs of the revolution are immortal!

The revolutionaries of the CPI (Maoist) are our comrades!

Comrades Basavaraj, Azad, and Kishenji, leaders of the new democratic revolution in India, will never be forgotten; their example will inspire future generations of revolutionaries!

Stop operation Kagaar! Immediate freedom for all political prisoners in India!

Long live the Communist Party of India (Maoist)!

Long Live the People’s War in India!

At least 28 suspected Naxalites have been killed in a fierce encounter with security forces in Narayanpur district. The gunfight erupted in Abujhmarh forests near Thulthuli village. Security forces from Dantewada and Narayanpur were involved. Automatic weapons and explosives were recovered. The encounter is part of heightened anti-Naxal operations in the Bastar region.

Two members of the security forces were seriously injured in a clash between security forces and Maoists on the border of Dantewada and Bijapur districts, in the state of Chhattisgarh.

A joint team of police forces from Dantewada, Bijapur and Sukma districts had been deployed to conduct anti-Maoist combing operations in the Purangel and Pidiya area. The police clashed with guerrillas, leading to violent exchanges of fire.

Meanwhile, reinforcements en route to support the operation were ambushed: an IED explosion seriously wounded two soldiers of the Bastar Fighters, an anti-guerrilla unit. Two Maoists were killed in the ensuing operations.
