Malkangiri: In a major success to security forces against Maoists, at least 8 ultras were gunned down by Telengana Police in Nelamadagu forest in Bhadradri Kothagudem district near Malkangiri border on Thursday. Arms and ammunition in large quantity were also seized from the spot.
The raid was conducted after police got specific information on a Maoist camp running inside the Nelamadagu forest this morning. As the ultras tried to escape from the camp by firing at police during the raid, 8 of them were killed in the ensuing gun battle between the two sides.
Police seized at least six guns, a number of detonators and several other explosives from the camp.
While some Maoist leaders managed to give police a slip during the encounter security personnel have launched a massive combing operation in Nelamadagu forest to nab them.
