Five Maoists killed in encounter with security forces in Odisha's Malkangiri district; multiple weapons recovered

Bhubaneswar: Five Maoists have been killed in an encounter with the security forces and ammunition recovered in Odisha’s Malkangiri district, police said on Monday. [caption id=“attachment_5458261” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] ![Representational image. AFP](https://images.firstpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/naxal-Maoists-AFP.jpg) Representational image. AFP[/caption] The gun battle took place inside a forest area near Papluru village in the Kalimela late on Sunday. A combing operation by a joint team of Odisha Police and the Special Operation Group (SOG) personnel led to the encounter in which the five Maoists, including a woman was killed, Additional Director General (Operation) RP Koche said. Multiple weapons, including two INSAS rifles, a hand grenade and one SLR, were also recovered as the combing operation continued, he said. “We have deployed additional Border Security Forces and SOG personnel to keep a strict vigil and track down all the Maoists hiding in Papluru,” he added. “I think, this is by far the best operation of the Odisha Police against the left-wing extremists. While a huge cache of arms and ammunition have been recovered, a search operation is still on to track down the Maoists,” Director General of Police (DGP) RP Sharma said.
