Seven killed as troopers hit Maoist hideouts in Chhattisgarh



Raipur: A Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) officer and at least six Maoists were killed on Friday as hundreds of security personnel launched operations against the guerrillas across Chhattisgarh's Bastar region.

Gunfights broke out in thickly forested stretches in Bastar's Dantewada district, about 450 km south of the capital Raipur, described as India's worst Maoist-hit district.



"We have encircled over 100 Maoist terrorists in their stronghold at more than one location. So far, we have killed at least six of them and the casualty figure might surge once the fight ends," Girdhari Nayak, additional director general of police, told a news service.

A deputy commandant of the CRPF was also killed and several troopers were injured when the guerrillas retaliated after being put under heavy fire in meticulously planned operations led by the special anti-Maoist force, Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (Cobra), sources at the police headquarters here added.

Naxals vs Cobras: Huge encounter in Chhattisgarh

It's being described as India's biggest encounter ever with Naxals.

Thirty Naxals are believed to have been killed in Operation Green Hunt in Chhattisgarh, led by the Cobras, or special forces created to tackle Naxals.

The huge shootout took place in Dantewada, where the police claims 200 Naxals have been cornered and have surrendered their arms.

Twenty jawans have gone missing and a senior Cobra commando have also been killed, sources said. This is the Cobras' first casualty since the creation of this special elite force.

Now these a$$holes gonna feel the sting of Cobra..... I think once this done we should send the cobra to Kashmir to shut down the chapter of insurgency.

That's a good news. Go India Go.
Well.....I think maoist were not a threat to Indian security. They were given shelter for political reasons. This is the main reason for their so-called empire. If government sincerely tries to counter them, they would no longer be alive.
Those who say maoists are fighting for a cause, just look at their arms and ammunitions. If we sell that stuff, may families would be benefitted. They are pure terrorists who are fighting for themselves. They destroy any development work and then cry foul that government is not doing anything.
It is nice to see that governemnt is taking some steps for them.

Cobras are specially trained to fight naxals/marxist/maoist.they are trained to fight in jungles as gurillas.

Hey RAW, we dont need Cobra in kashmir, Cobra is just a paramilitary force ! Marcos is already doing a great job there, have gained a fearsome reputation among terrorists as the 'Dadiwali Fauj' (Bearded Army) as they are the only non-Sikh personnel allowed to grow beards, 'Jal Murgi' (Water Hens) for the speed in which they carry out assault from the water and 'Magarmachh' (Crocodiles) for their amphibious capability. while cobra is trained jungle warfare. both of them are for two different scenarios !

COBRA team snakes into Maoist fortress​

Shivanand Shukla | Raipur

Even as a massive mobilisation of special forces is going on for launching a decisive battle against Maoists in Chhattisgarh, a bloody battle between the highly-trained COBRA jawans and the outlaws at Dantewada on Friday left nearly 20 men dead and scores injured. The casualty figure comprises men from both sides.

Reports said the Left-wing guerrillas suffered a serious setback following a raid on their arms factory by a joint operation team of COBRA and police. Despite the element of surprise, the Maoists shot back and killed an assistant commandant of the elite force. At least six COBRA personnel went missing and an equal number was seriously injured. The number of Maoists killed in the fierce encounter was estimated at over a dozen.

“Nine bodies of Maoists have already been recovered while assistant commandant Manoranjan Singh died in the encounter,” said DGP Vishwaranjan. Confirming that six COBRA personnel were missing, the DGP said more Maoists might have been killed and a search was on to recover their bodies.

The police officials based in Bastar also said the casualty figure might go up as the security teams were yet to return and gun battle was continuing at several places.

The encounter took place after the security forces raided a rebels’ arms factory in the jungles of Singamadagu, 500 km from State capital Raipur.

The gun battle between Maoists and security personnel continued late in the evening and a helicopter was being used to evacuate the injured and the dead, said police sources.

Acting on a tip-off, several teams — comprising about 200 men led by the CRPF, COBRA commandants and Dantewada SP — moved from different sides towards the arms factory, sources said. While one of the teams was returning after destroying the arms factory the Maoists opened fire at them at Palechelma.

The assistant commandant was killed in the incident and the securitymen gunned down seven Maoists in the encounter, sources said. Two more Naxalites were shot in encounters elsewhere in the same region.

The security forcers recovered several weapons, including SLRs and grenades, said IGP RK Vij.

The area is located in deep forests and it was very difficult for the authorities to establish contact with the forces as it could only be done through satellite phones. “Only the team can get in touch with us, not vice versa,” a senior officer pointed out by way of explaining difficulties in getting details.

Significantly, the incident occurred when hectic preparations are on to launch a massive strike against the rebels in Chhattisgarh. The operation will pool together forces from the BSF, ITBP, CRPF, CAF and district police with the help of special police officers, who have been drafted in from the local youth. Already, Air Force officers have visited Raipur in connection with the proposed offensive against the Maoists.

Sources said IAF choppers and other aircraft may be used during the operation for transportation and evacuation purposes. “They will not be used at all for combat,” clarified a top source.

More than 20 battalions of Central and State forces are currently posted in the insurgency-hit Bastar region and nine more BSF and ITBP battalions are likely to join them in the operation.
