Chhattisgarh: On Saturday, an official said that in a joint operation by Telangana’s Greyhounds along with the Chhattisgarh Police, three Naxalites were killed in Kanker district of Chhattisgarh.
The incident happened in the Karriguta forests of Pujari Kanker. He said the encounter took place in the Pujari Kanker forest on the inter-state border when a team of Telangana’s elite anti-Naxal force Greyhounds was out on an operation.
He added that a team of Chhattisgarh police was also present in the area to extend auxiliary support to the Greyhounds team. The official said,”Three Naxalites were killed in the gunfight and weapons were also recovered from the spot.”
