Naxalite "Onion 800" Code Exposed: Plot to Attack Forces in Chhattisgarh

• A secret Naxalite letter, recovered after an encounter where 18 Naxalites were killed, exposed a major conspiracy to attack armed forces.
• The letter revealed code words: "Onion" for forces, "Sukli" for informants, and "Tikur" for Naxalite exchanges; "Onion 800" was a code for the attack.
• Naxalites used coded language in written letters and radio frequencies (Chinese walkie-talkies/ICOM sets) for communication to evade interception.
• The letter, found by News18, suggests Naxalites retain the capability for major attacks despite increased pressure from security forces.
• Bastar Range IG P. Sundarraj warned Naxalites to surrender, stating that 18 Naxalites were killed in the recent encounter where three soldiers were martyred.
