RIP to this braveheart and very sad that govt withdrew security for him some months back that most likely led to this....ref: https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/punjab/anti-terror-braveheart-shot-in-punjab-156956
Guptaji did a good episode here with a huge amount of context and history of the earlier period involving this Comrade:
As somewhat of an aside:
It is now much clearer to me why my father (as anti-congress as he is, far far more than I am) also absolutely despises V.P Singh's guts.....running quite contrary to his mother (my grandmother, rest her soul) estimation of him at the time and after... simply because in her opinion he (VP Singh) was against (I.G and post I.G) congress party. Similar reasoning led to her being against Narasimha Rao (simply because he is congress) whereas my father has much higher opinion of him. This marked defining features of most of the political arguments my father had with his mom in that era (late 80s onwards).
BJP, Sanghis and Bhakts are far too busy labeling liberals in their absurd witchhunt as Urban Naxals rather than coming up with a coherent strategy to end the actual Naxal movement.
This happened in jungles of eastern India far from Pakistan. The terrorists are left wing Maoists. I just hope Pakistan does not get blamed for this. The vast region coloured red is where the Naxalites operate.

The Naxalite–Maoist insurgency is an ongoing conflict[16] between Maoist groups known as Naxalites or Naxals, and the Indian government. The insurgency started after the 2004 formation of the CPI-Maoists – a rebel group consisting of the PWG (People's War Group) and the MCC (Maoist Communist Centre).
Deaths related to violence (up to 2018)
The major ambush was set up by placing an LMG in a house which opened fire at clear line of site injuring most of the party. They were hunted down while dragging the injured and retreating into the forest.RIP to our CRPF fallen. Apparently up to 30 naxalites were killed in this encounter too. Over the coming days, we will get more details.
There will be an investigation into what the mistakes in this operation were.
Though it has been a heartening overall trend w.r.t decrease if you look at the numbers 10 years ago and 10 years before that. Way fewer civilians are perishing from it compared to before.
The last few maoists are of the hardened variety and thus these are their dying pangs...most of the half-ways and nominals have given up arms and surrendered....and been rehabilitated.

Its people like you Chamchas who give intellectual cover to these terrorists calling them innocent and killing them a Human Rights Violation.BJP, Sanghis and Bhakts are far too busy labeling liberals in their absurd witchhunt as Urban Naxals rather than coming up with a coherent strategy to end the actual Naxal movement.
Bhupesh baghel is in Assam for last 2 months not sure who is running his state ... and it's not easy to operate in places where local populace is either scared or supporting Maoists and Maoists have a well-oiled intl network, I think such attacks will increase as they are slowly losing their grounds and forces are moving in the hotbeds of MaoistsIts people like you Chamchas who give intellectual cover to these terrorists calling them innocent and killing them a Human Rights Violation.
