Three Naxalites were killed down in an encounter of fire with security forces in a dense forest in Chhattisgarh’s Bijapur district bordering Telangana on Saturday, April 6. 

The gunfight took place in Pujari Kanker forest along the interstate border when a team of Greyhounds, Telangana’s elite anti-Naxal force, was out on an operation.

A senior police official told the news agency PTI that a team of Chhattisgarh police was also present in the area to extend auxiliary support to the Greyhounds team.
