Chhattisgarh: Female Naxalite killed in police encounter

Jagdalpur, May 6 (UNI) A uniformed female Naxalite with a bounty of Rs eight lakh was killed in an alleged encounter between police and Naxalites in Bijapur district of Chhattisgarh.
In a separate incident, Naxalites allegedly murdered a sub-sarpanch.

The killed Naxalite has been identified as a member of the PLGA Battalion No 1. The encounter took place when a team of District Reserve Police Force, Special Task Force, Central Security Force, and COBRA battalion launched an anti-Naxalite operation in the jungles of Bijapur district.

After the encounter, the body of the uniformed female Naxalite was recovered along with a 303 rifle. According to police, the possibility of more Naxalites being killed cannot be ruled out.

In a significant development, security forces have been conducting an intensive anti-Naxalite operation in the area for the past 15 days, during which hundreds of Naxalite hideouts and bunkers have been destroyed, and thousands of kilograms of explosives and other materials have been seized.

Meanwhile, Naxalites murdered a sub-sarpanch in the Sukum district, accusing him of being a police informer.

They took Muchaki out of the house and killed him with a sharp-edged weapon. The incident has created a sense of fear in the area.
