Police raid Naxal camp, kill 15 rebels in Chhattisgarh's Sukma district Noor Arora

In a significant breakthrough in the on-going operations against Left Wing Extremism (LWE), security forces raided a camp and killed 15 Naxalites in Chhattisgarh’s Sukma district Monday morning. A hardcore Naxalite identified as Militia commander Deva was nabbed from the spot. Security agencies anticipate vital inputs from him during interrogation. “Based on intelligence inputs, the operation was meticulously planned and two special teams of security personnel sneaked into the forest from different directions last evening,” Special Director General (antinaxal operations) D M Awasthi said. They stormed the camp today morning, he added. The security personnel who carried out the operation were drawn from Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), its elite unit Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBRA) besides District Reserve Guard (DRG) and Special Task Force (STF) of Chhattisgarh police.
