Lalgarh, about 200 km west of Kolkata, has been on the boil since November last year when a landmine exploded on the route of the convoy of Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee and then central ministers Ram Vilas Paswan and Jitin Prasada.

Alleging police atrocities after the blast, Maoists along with the People's Committee against Police Atrocity (PCAPA) launched an agitation and made the area a virtual 'free zone' by torching police camps and offices of the ruling CPI-M and driving out the civil administration.
