Post News Network
The identity of the gunned-down Maoist is yet to be revealed by the police.
The police were tipped off that the Maoists were convening a meeting in Makadapadar forest, close to the border of Andhra Pradesh. Taking the tip-off seriously, a combined team of Special Operations Group (SOG) and District Voluntary Force (DVF) jawans under the guidance of Malkangiri SP Rishikesh D Khilari launched a combing operation in the said jungle.
Seeing the forces marching towards them, the ultras opened fire. In retaliation, the joint team too fired at the Maoists.
