Two Maoists Slained In Gun Battle With Security Forces In Jharkhand
Earlier this month, two feared Maoists were slain in a battle with security forces in Jharkhand's Seraikela-Kharsawan district's Baruda jungle, the police said. They were considered to be close aides of the outfit's central committee member Anal Da.
According to them, several additional members of the outlawed CPI(Maoist) were injured in the operation.
Acting on a tip-off, a combined team comprising the CRPF's CoBRA, Jharkhand Jaguar, and the state police conducted operations in the Seraikela-Kharsawan, Chaibasa, and Khunti districts, destroying Maoist camps and engaging in a gunfight with them.
"We had information that Maoist Central Committee Member Anal Da, who is carrying a reward of Rs 1 crore on his head, has come to a camp at the tri-junction with 30-35 members to plan and execute some major attack on security forces," the police said.
