Five Maoists Killed in Encounter in Chhattisgarh

Raipur,  : The gunfight, which began at around 8 AM, continued for a prolonged period
at the border of Bijapur and Dantewada districts. The encounter was part of a search
operation launched by joint security teams based on intelligence reports regarding
Maoist activities near the Indravati river banks. The Maoists opened unexpected fire
upon sighting the security personnel, leading to a fierce exchange. Security forces
responded decisively, killing five hardcore Maoists. Three bodies were recovered from the scene, and further search efforts are ongoing. Witnessing the intensity of the security operation, Maoist cadres fled the spot, leaving behind arms and ammunition. This operation follows a similar encounter on March 20, when security forces killed 30 Maoists in the same region.
