4 Naxals killed, 1 constable injured in encounter in Chhattisgarh

Raipur, Aug 17 (UNI) Four Naxals, including two commanders, were today killed while one District Reserve Group (DRG) constable sustained bullet injury in a fierce gunfight between security personnel and Maoists in Chhattisgarh's insurgency-affected Dantewada district, police said. Of the four bodies recovered, two were identified as Katekalyan area committee commander Massa and Naxals' Platoon 26 commander Madkami Deve. Police also recovered a huge cache of arms and ammunition, including eight rifles and 30 pithus (rucksack bags), cartridges and explosives. DRG constable Aditya Saran, who sustained bullet injury in the waist, was flown to Jagdalpur by an Indian Air Force helicopter for treatment. According to District Naxal Cell sources, the gunfight started at around 0700 hrs in the hilly Dabba village, about 12 km from Katekalyan police station when armed Naxals opened fire on a team of Special Task Force (STF) and DRG personnel, which was carrying out a search operation on the basis of a tip-off about the presence of rebels atop the Dabba hills. After an hour-long gun-battle, Naxals fled into dense forests failing to withstand the retaliatory attack by the force. The search team is on its way to Katekalyan with the bodies of the four ultras and seized arms and ammunition. UNI SS PS RSA AS1452
