In addition to that, three more .315 bore rifles have been recovered from the operations site.

Acting on a specific information of presence of action group of Naxalites in the general area of Katgaon and Kametha, a special Operation team comprising of 10 teams of BSF and 2 teams of STF Chhattisgarh, executed the search and destroy operations to the marked area.
