The Shanti Pal group emerged as through a split in the North Bengal-Bihar Regional Committee of the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist), being the pro-Lin Biao faction.[1] The leader of the faction, Shanti Pal, had been a school teacher in Phansidewa who became a key CPI(ML) leader.[2] After forming his own faction Pal remained loyal to the line of the CPI(ML) leader Charu Majumdar.[2] Pal's party combatted landlords in areas like Godda and Sahebganj.[3] The party opposes participation in elections and calls for armed agrarian revolution.[4][5]

As of 1981 COC, CPI(ML) Shanti Pal had influence in Bhawanipur, Rupauli, Dhamdaha and Barhatta blocks of Purnea district and parts of Katihar district.[6] On 9 March 1993 COC, CPI(ML) Shanti Pal militants killed nine people in Amjhora village, Banka District.[citation needed] As of 2006 the leader of Shanti Pal group in Madhepura was in jail, sentenced for the killing of a mukhya.[7]
