But Kundia Munda's bodyguard, Baiju Uraon, said that there were five INSAS rifles in the jawans' room. Only one of these rifles is left. This means that four INSAS rifles have been robbed by the Pathalgadi supporters. After the attack, Baiju Uraon gave the information to the police. The meeting was going on after Pathalgadi in Ghaghra village about three and a half kilometers from there.

It was discussed in the village that the Pathalgadi supporters had kept the abductors under the meeting place of the Ghaghra village.

Actually, the police was in the mood of action against Pathalgadi supporters since late night on Monday.

Let us tell that in the tribal areas of Jharkhand these days, the campaign of Pathalgadi has been spread. Here the tribals in the villages are demanding self-government through Pathalgadi. In many villages tribal people are demanding 'their rule, their rule' by doing Pathalgadi. Not only this, the gram sabhas started issuing till the decree. Apart from this, many incidents have also been reported in several villages for making hostages of policemen for hours.

In tribal communities and villages, the tradition of Pathalgadi is in vogue with law and order. It contains information about Mauja, Seemna, Gram Sabha and the authority. Pathalgadi is also used to keep the memory of the genealogy, ancestry and the dead (dead person). In many places, Pathalgadi was also being held in honor of the brave Sufts who fought against the British and the enemies.
