Rs 40L bounty: Following a 48-hour shootout in the Narayanpur area on Tuesday, five Maoists were identified by the Chhattisgarh Police on Thursday. These individuals had a combined bounty of Rs 40 lakhs on their heads.
Adma Vadde, Kamlu Vadde, Konda Togda, Rakesh, and Farsa Tumda are the six, according to Narayanpur Superintendent of Police Prabhat Kumar.
They were all members of the banned Maoist organization’s People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) Company Number 1 Central Committee protection unit in the Maad Division’s Kutul Area Committee.
A bounty of Rs 8 lakhs was placed on each of their heads.
Based on reports that senior Maoists were present in the district’s forests at Hikulnar, Ghamandi, Jatwar, and surrounding villages, the operation was started on June 30.
