In early 1984, a letter signed by the leftist group Pucallacta demanded the resignation of all municipal authorities in Aucayacu. This event was part of a series of intimidating actions by the PCP-SL against local authorities in the area. The letter was followed by an attack (arson) against the house of then mayor Enrique Bruckman Falcón. This event was part of the process of consolidation of Shining Path control in the areas surrounding Aucayacu, which preceded the major attacks against the Civil Guard posts in the town.
