The 2013 Jhiram Valley Maoist attack was meticulously planned months ahead of time, according to the court order in Jagdalpur, Chhattisgarh. The CPI (Maoist) meticulously surveyed the route, arranged provisions, mobilized their forces, and conducted a rehearsal before ambushing a Congress convoy. The attack, which killed 27 including senior Congress leaders, was carried out on May 25, 2013. All 10 convicts were sentenced to death, and the detailed court order released on Friday revealed the full extent of the planning.
