“A Naxalite was killed in an exchange of fire with security personnel in Chhattisgarh’s Sukma district on May 18,” police said.
“The gunfight took place in the morning on a forested hill between Tolnai and Tetrai villages when a team of security personnel was out on an anti-Naxal operation,” a police official said.
“The operation was launched on Friday night [May 17] based on inputs about the presence of Naxalites in the area,” he said. “After the exchange of fire stopped, the body of a Naxalite, a muzzle loading gun and a cache of explosives were recovered from the spot,” he said.
