One Maoist was also killed in the incident. 341 of the jail's 600 odd prisoners, including Ajay Kanu, state secretary of the CPI-Maoist, and several other cadres of the outfit, were set free and approximately 12 activists of the Ranvir Sena, a private army of upper-caste landowners, have been abducted. Pamphlets left by the Maoists at the jail said 'Operation Jailbreak' was deliberately made to coincide with the great November 13 Russian revolution and its aim was to "rescue our comrades and to award death penalty to select Ranvir Sena activists" lodged in the jail. The Maoists, who had reportedly taken control of all entry and exit points of the town exploded a series of bombs in front of the district Collectorate, residence of the district judge and the local S. S. College where a paramilitary camp has been set up.
