Four Naxals Eliminated In Three Days Chhattisgarh; Top Maoist Leaders Among Those Killed

The security forces neutralised two more Naxals during an ongoing anti-Naxal operation in Bijapur district's dense forest region on Saturday (7 June).

These fresh encounters bring the total number of Naxals eliminated over the past three days to four, including two high-ranking Maoist leaders.

The operation, which began earlier this week, led to the deaths of top Naxal leader Sudhakar alias Gautam, a Central Committee member with a bounty of Rs 1 crore, and Bhaskar Rao alias Mailarapu Adellu, who carried a combined bounty of Rs 45 lakh across Telangana and Chhattisgarh, reported India Today.

Bhaskar served as Secretary of the Mancherial-Komarambheem (MKB) division of the CPI (Maoist) Telangana State Committee and also held membership in its Special Zonal Committee.

On the first day of the operation, forces killed Sudhakar and seized an automatic rifle from the site.

On Friday (6 June), security personnel recovered Bhaskar’s body, an AK-47 rifle, explosives, and other arms.

The encounter continued through the night into Saturday, and security forces recovered additional automatic weapons from the latest gunfight.

The large-scale operation remains active as forces continue combing the forested terrain in pursuit of remaining naxals.
