Is India’s Maoist insurgency finally over?

Nambala Keshava Rao, alias Basavraj, the general secretary of the banned CPI (Maoist), was killed in an encounter in Chhattisgarh's Abujmarh area. His successor, Thippiri Tirupati, alias Devji, surrendered along with cadres and weapons. Most Central Committee leaders have been killed or arrested, leaving the organisation largely leaderless.
