Maoist group active in Karnataka's Sullia town; Anti-Naxal Force contingent combing area
Mangaluru (Karnataka): Frequent sightings of strangers suspected to be Maoists in the Koojimalai forest area have prompted Anti-Naxal Force (ANF) jawans to take up combing in the forest area, and a contingent of ANF has been stationed in Koojimalai village, sources said on Thursday.
Another sighting of a suspected Naxalite had been reported from a heavily wooded forest area on Thursday, they said.
According to the sources, a worker in the rubber plantation claimed that he had sighted a woman in the forest area who is not from the village. Efforts to locate the woman are ongoing, with ANF teams conducting thorough searches in both the Ainekidu and Koojimale estate areas.
Sources within the ANF have suggested that Naxalite groups, previously detected in these regions, may still be active on the fringes of the Pushpagiri forest sanctuary.
ANF sources have confirmed that they have received complaints of strangers frequenting the area between Sampaje and Koojimalai.

Kolkata, Apr 29: Authorities at the Kolkata airport on Monday received a bomb threat by email, three days after a similar communication, triggering a frantic search across the facility, officials said.
However, the mail, which threatened to blow up the airport, turned out to be a hoax, they said.
The threat mail was sent to all airports in the country on Monday, said Aishwariya Sagar, the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Airport Division of Bidhannagar Police Commissionerate.
Security agencies at the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport (NSCBIA) conducted a thorough search operation after receiving the email, she said.
The CISF conducted the search in the airport’s terminal building and operational area, while police personnel carried out checks in the city side area. Sniffer dogs were also deployed during the operation, airport sources said.
“The security personnel concluded that the threat was a hoax,” Sagar said.
Efforts were underway to track the sender of the email.
A cybercrime case will be started, the sources added.
On April 26, the Kolkata airport authorities had received an email, claiming bombs were planted at various places on its premises.
However, the mail turned out to be a hoax, too.
