{'salwa judum': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'jan jagran abhiyan': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'maoist insurgency': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'koya commandos': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'chhattisgarh government': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'special force': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'maoist activities': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'special police officers': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

Option 1 states that Salwa Judum was created by the Chhattisgarh Government in 2005, comprising of about 6500 Special Police Officers or Koya Commandos. This option correctly identifies the origin and composition of Salwa Judum.

Option 2 states that Salwa Judum was initially known as Jan Jagran Abhiyan. This option correctly states the initial name of Salwa Judum.

Option 3 states that the force was fully funded by the Chhattisgarh government. This is incorrect. Salwa Judum was not fully funded by the Chhattisgarh government. It received financial and logistical support from both the government and private entities.

Option 4 states that the Supreme Court of India in July 2011 ordered the Chhattisgarh Government to disband the Special Force and desist from using them to counter Maoist activities. This option correctly highlights the Supreme Court`s decision regarding Salwa Judum.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3 as it incorrectly states that the force was fully funded by the Chhattisgarh government.
