Police officials said on Monday that three Naxalites have been killed in an encounter in Abujhmad area of Narayanpur. Security forces were sent for the operation after receiving information about the presence of a large number of Naxalites in the area. Security forces surrounded the area after which firing took place. Security forces have also recovered three automatic weapons from the Naxalites.
Narayanpur SP Prabhat Kumar has confirmed the encounter. Bastar IG P. Sundarraj is keeping an eye on the entire encounter. The encounter is ongoing. The soldiers are retaliating strongly.
