Security forces on Wednesday shot dead three Maoists who carried rewards for their capture in Chhattisgarh's Dantewada district.
A 12-member team of security personnel was sent to check the presence of Maoists after a tip off, Bastar's Inspector General of Police S.R.P. Kalluri told IANS.

Police seized a huge amount of explosives and ammunition from the site. One of the Maoists was identified as Bal Singh.
