What Happened
India's Maoist insurgency faces potential collapse following the May 2025 killing of CPI (Maoist) general secretary Basavraj in Chhattisgarh and his successor Devji's February 2026 surrender. With most Central Committee leaders eliminated or arrested, the five-decade-old movement is reportedly leaderless. Home Minister Amit Shah claims the insurgency is finished.
