Four Indian Maoist Rebels Killed in Shoot-out |
2016-01-16 |
[ALMANAR.LB] Four Maoist rebels have been killed in a shootout with police in a forest in central India's Chhattisgarh state, security forces said Friday. Police said the shoot-out happened early Friday morning in Bijapur, around 470 kilometers (290 miles) from state capital Raipur. "After the fierce shootout, bodies of one female and three male Maoist cadres, along with four rifles and four Chinese hand grenades, have been recovered," Bijapur district police chief Kanhaiya Lal Dhruv told AFP. The remote, underdeveloped region of the state is believed to have been a rebel stronghold for nearly two decades. Police said that they had launched a search operation after an intelligence tip-off that the Maoists were in the forested Ganglaur area, where the shoot-out occurred. Officers are still searching for weapons and the bodies of any more rebels killed in the incident. |
