5 more Maoist bodies found in Bijapur's Indravati Park amid ongoing operation
Raipur: At least five more bodies of suspected Maoists, including those of two women, were recovered from the forests of Indravati National Park in Chhattisgarh's Bijapur district on Saturday morning, amid an ongoing anti-Maoist operation. This comes after the security forces killed senior leader of the banned Communist Party of India (Maoist) and central committee member Sudhakar in an encounter in the forests of Bijapur, and top Maoist leader Bhaskar in the Indravati National Park area in Bijapur on Thursday. 'A total of seven Maoists, including two senior leaders — Central Committee member Sudhakar alias Gautam and Telangana State Committee member Mailarapu Adelu alias Bhaskar — have been killed during a major three-day-long anti-Naxal operation,' a statement issued by the police on Saturday said. The security forces have reportedly intensified their combing and area domination operations from Thursday onwards in key Maoist stronghold areas bordering Telangana.

'On Friday, security personnel recovered the body of Sudhakar, a senior Central Committee member and a top-ranking ideologue of the CPI (Maoist). The following day, on Friday, Mailarapu Adelu alias Bhaskar — a prominent Maoist leader from Telangana — was found dead at a nearby location. He was reportedly the secretary of the Mancherial-Komarambheem Division and carried a reward of ₹45 lakh ( ₹25 lakh from Chhattisgarh and ₹20 lakh from Telangana),' the statement read. The statement added that operations during the intervening night of Friday and Saturday led to the recovery of five more bodies, including those of two women, whose identities are yet to be confirmed. 'All of them are active cadres of the outlawed CPI (Maoist). Identification of the deceased is underway,' a police officer said. Also Read: The inside story of how senior Maoist leader Basavaraju was killed in Abujmad A cache of arms and ammunition, including two AK-47 rifles and explosive material, was seized from the encounter sites, according to the statement. Some security personnel sustained minor injuries due to snake bites, honeybee stings, dehydration, and other field-related causes, but all injured are reported to be stable and under medical care. 'The operation — part of an intensified crackdown on Maoist presence in the National Park area — continues with ground forces conducting search and flush-out operations across the surrounding forest terrain,' the police statement added. Meanwhile, civil rights activists and the Telangana civil rights association on Saturday alleged that Chhattisgarh police had taken Maoist leaders into custody in Bijapur and were killing them one by one in staged encounters. Police, however, dismissed the allegations, stating that all actions were lawful and carried out in strict accordance with operational protocols.

7 Maoists killed in ongoing Bijapur operation, key leaders among those neutralised
This is an AI-generated image, used for representational purposes only. NEW DELHI: At least seven Maoists, including two top leaders of the outlawed CPI (Maoist), have been killed in a series of encounters with security forces in Chhattisgarh's Bijapur district over the past three days, police said on Saturday. The ongoing anti-Naxal operation is taking place inside the dense forest region of Indravati National Park. The latest casualties include two prominent figures: Central Committee Member Narasimha Chalam alias Sudhakar, and Bhaskar alias Mailarapu Adellu, a Special Zonal Committee (SZC) member of the Telangana State Committee (TSC) of the Maoists. Sudhakar carried a bounty of Rs 40 lakh, while Bhaskar had a combined reward of Rs 45 lakh announced by the governments of Chhattisgarh and Telangana. "So far, a total of 7 dead bodies of Maoist cadres have been recovered by security forces during the ongoing anti-Naxal operations in the National Park area of Bijapur district," confirmed Inspector General of Police, Bastar Range, P Sundarraj, as quoted by news agency ANI. "These include the bodies of Central Committee Member Gautam alias Sudhakar and Telangana State Committee Member Bhaskar." According to PTI, Saturday's recovery of two bodies followed a gun battle, while three others were found after an encounter that took place during the intervening night of Friday and Saturday. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Affordable Flats in Chattarpur A D Infra Learn More Undo The identities of five other Maoists killed, including two women, are yet to be ascertained. The operation was launched on June 4 following specific intelligence inputs about the presence of senior Maoist leaders, including Sudhakar, Bandi Prakash, and Pappa Rao, all associated with the Dandakaranya Special Zonal Committee (DKSZC). Personnel from the Chhattisgarh police's Special Task Force (STF), District Reserve Guard (DRG), and CRPF's elite CoBRA unit are involved in the joint operation. Security forces have also seized a significant cache of arms and ammunition from the encounter sites, including two AK-47 rifles and explosives, as per officials quoted by news agency PTI. Search and area domination efforts are continuing across the rugged terrain to neutralise any remaining Maoist presence. Some personnel sustained injuries during the operation due to snake bites, honeybee stings, dehydration, and other challenges associated with forest combat. 'They are being provided with appropriate medical attention. Right now their condition is normal and out of danger,' Sundarraj said. This operation marks the third major blow to the Maoist hierarchy in Chhattisgarh in just over three weeks. On May 21, General Secretary of the CPI (Maoist) Nambala Keshav Rao alias Basavaraju, 70, was killed in a massive encounter in the Abujmarh forest area of Narayanpur district. A total of 26 other Maoists were neutralised in that action. Officials say the continuing operation in Bijapur is aimed at completely sanitising the Maoist-infested forest belt and uprooting the leadership network that has long directed armed insurgency in central India.
