Three Naxals killed in gunbattle in Chhattisgarh
Three Naxals, including two commander-rank cadres, were on Monday killed in a gun battle with security forces in Chhattisgarh's insurgency-hit Bastar division. "On reaching the spot, about 20 armed cadres smelled the presence of security forces and opened indiscriminate fire on them prompting [the] police to retaliate," a senior police official said, adding that the exchange lasted for an hour.
