Encountered Naxals… Well it’s true, gun in my hand is real and such 8more guns were kept beautifully in front of me. It was hot sunny day in summer of 48 degree and we group of 5 photographer, locations hunter, local guide and support, script writer and myself. We walked around three mountains and entered the den of Naxals basically we went exploring temple which was in the middle of mountain and during shravan Shiv Bhakra come in flocks for prayers. Shiva resides here and one sadhu heads the show. To stay at this location you have to bring spices along because food is served for free by sadhu and he is facilitated by villagers or May be naxals. When my team reached the spot and I was following as water was all over from 4kms and we had walked around 18kms that day. When I entered the hut there were 6 men with 9guns of which two guns were new and well loaded. I greeted them all and they welcomed me and handed over this gun and was asked to do whatever I wish to with the gun. Anyways so it was obvious though I had opportunity to try my hands on it. We were later guided by them to the cave and we explored and had nice cold water visit nearby and after having meal of rice, dal and potato dry bhaji or bhujiya. And returned back. We had plan to stay that night but scenario was not that pleasant enough as we had lot many cameras and expensive one and script writer was my responsibility so we returned back that night around 2am This was in Bihar’s naxal affected area. But this experience was non the less memorable.
