A top Maoist commander, identified was killed in a gun battle with security forces on Thursday evening, police said on Friday.
Superintendent of police said the military platoon commander of the outlawed Maoists was identified with the help of surrendered rebels.
“We are expecting more casualties and it may take some more time to recover the bodies in the deep forests,” Superintendent of police said while speaking to the Hindustan Times.
“We identified blood marks at different places in the forests suggesting more deaths,” Superintendent of police added.
Another police officer said at least eight to ten more Maoists militants might have been hit in the gunfire.
A joint operation involving District Reserve Guards and Special Task Force personnel was launched in border areas sources said.
“When the District Reserve Guards and Special Task Force personnel were moving , District Reserve Guards and Special Task Force personnel encountered a large group of 50-60 Maoists leading to an exchange of fire,” Superintendent of police said.
The militants were said to have slipped into the deep forests, leaving behind their dead commander after the firing that lasted for more than an hour.
Superintendent of police said police have recovered a self-loading rifle and two magazines from top Maoist commander.
Thursday’s encounter is the second in a week after nine Maoists and two security personnel were killed in village under police limits on Monday.
