Date of conflict reached 25 battle releated deaths: 1990-10-10
Comment on conflict reached 25 battle releated deaths: PWG first became active as a one-sided actor in UCDP data in 1990, when the one-sided violence resulted in at least 25 civilian deaths. The threshold was reached in October when the group killed 47 civilians through setting fire to a train; apparently with the motive of staging a protest for more rights for the lower castes. In 2004 the group merged with the Maoist Communist Centre (MCC) to create the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI–Maoist), and from that year one-sided activity by PWG is coded as being carried out by CPI–Maoist.
