MALKANGIRI: In a fierce gun battle between security forces and Maoists,
the forces on Sunday gunned down a Red rebel and seized four rifles from the
spot in Chikatpali forest near Ralegada in Chitrakonda cut-off area of
Malkangiri district.
After getting information about
the movement of 30 Maoists in the cut-off area, BSF personnel reached the Chikatpali
village and started combing operation to find out the hideouts of the ultras in
the forest near the village.
One Maoist was killed in the
gunbattle while the rest of his companions fled from the site, he said, adding,
“Search operation is on to track the fleeing red rebels.”
Notably, a woman Maoist Sirisha
was killed in a gun battle with the security forces in the district on December
31 last year. It was the second planned combing operation after Silakota forest
encounter where 13 Maoists were killed by the forces.
