Security forces took down Hidma, known for brutal attacks on security personnel in Chhattisgarh, in an encounter Tuesday, a ‘more significant’ killing than of top leader Basavaraju.
Gang leader Ranjan Pathak & his three associates were gunned down by a joint police team of two states on intervening night of Wednesday & Thursday in Delhi’s Rohini area.
The police have also recovered multiple weapons, including an AK-47, from the spot. The encounter is currently ongoing, with security forces searching for any other Naxalites.
The encounter erupted in Guddar forest during a joint Army, J&K Police & CRPF operation after troops spotted suspicious activity and came under fire, the Chinar Corps said Monday.
Encounter began when police, assisted by Army & CRPF, launched a cordon & search operation in Kuchal area of Chatroo around 7:45 pm Wednesday after intel on presence of terrorists.
After a series of fierce encounters in the national park area where security forces were conducting several intensive anti-Maoist operations, 2 high-ranking maoist leaders were killed.
Blast occurred while Akash Rao Girepunje & other officers were on foot patrol, investigating an incident of vehicle burning by Naxalites. This is the 2nd IED blast death in under a month.
An encounter broke out between the gang and the UP Police Special Task Force (STF) & Delhi Police during which Kumar, wanted for murder & organised crime, was killed.

It is a brilliant, reasonably priced, and mostly homemade aircraft with a stellar safety record; only two crashes in 24 years since its first flight. But its crash is a moment of introspection.
