Five Naxalites were killed in two encounters with security forces in an ongoing operation in the Indravati National Park area of Chhattisgarh

A top CPI (Maoist) leader, Thentu Laxminarasimha Chalam alias Sudhakar, was killed in an encounter in Indravati National Park, Bijapur. Security forces launched the operation based on intelligence inputs. He carried a ₹1 crore reward and led Maoist operations.

Left wing parties have alleged that the rulers were scared of seeing the bodies of slain Maoists, which was why bodies of eight Maoists including of Keshav Rao, were not handed over to their family members

Muchaki Unga alias Kishore of Chhattisgarh joined Maoist party as a dalam member in Kistaram area committee in July 2020, when he was 17 years old

Eliminating the top leadership would bring down the party order and it would not take much longer for the Maoist party to collapse. Chhattisgarh people made great sacrifices in fighting against the Maoists, Chhattisgarh DGP Arun Dev Gautham said

Hailing from Andhra Pradesh, Basavaraju, who carried a reward of Rs 1 crore on his head in Chhattisgarh, had been associated with the banned movement since 1970s and was elevated to the top post in CPI (Maoist) seven years ago
