Four Maoists were killed in a police encounter in Chaibasa, Jharkhand, including key leaders with bounties. The ongoing operation followed intelligence about a Maoist gathering in the Guwa forest. No security force casualties were reported.

Dr. Amlan Bhoi, a physician at Kalimela Community Health Centre, was allegedly abducted by unidentified individuals in Malkangiri. A poster found suggests Maoist involvement, following a recent quarrel over a post-mortem procedure. Police are investigating.

As per initial reports, an exchange of fire was reported between the SOG jawans and the Maoists at Sibnarayanpur area under the sanctuary.

Samaya Madkam alias Naresh, a Divisional Committee Member (DCM) of KKBN Division of the Maoists surrendered in Odisha on Tuesday.

The banned organisation has urged people of Odisha, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh to extend support and observe bandh on April 15

Apart from arresting the Maoists, the security forces also seized a huge arms haul including 19 BGM bombs and gelatin sticks

Among the seized items are 190 gelatin sticks, one 20-kg IED, five 7-kg IED, one 5-kg IED, one 4-kg IED, three 3-kg IED and another 2-kg IED. 

Following a tip-off that a large group of Maoists from a neighbouring state had entered the state with nefarious motives, the Gadchiroli Police’s crack C-60 commandos launched a combing operation in Kolamarka hills of Repanpalli division.

The forces seized 58 rounds of bullets, 10 detonators, 500 grams of gunpowder, hand grenade, gelatin sticks, two pairs of uniforms and other articles from the camp.

Both the ultras had joined the banned CPI (Maoist) party in the Kistaram and Konta areas under the South Bastar region in Chhattisgarh in the year 2001.

Initially, it was suspected that both of them were brutally killed by the rebels inside a forest near the village.

The bodies of the couple are still lying in the forest and police officials are yet to reach the spot since the last filing of this report.

Sources said the Maoists approached Ram as normal civilians in plain clothes. Later, they took him to a forest where they brutally murdered him and fled the scene, leaving his body in a pool of blood.

Sensing the movements of the SOG Jawans, the ultras opened fire at them near Barkote Ghat. In retaliation, the security forces also opened fire, leading to a brief exchange of fire in the area.

Out of the two women Maoists, one was a member of the eighth company and another was a party member of Kalahandi-Kandhamal-Boudh-Nayagarh (KKBN) division of the CPI (Maoist).
