Two Naxals were Sunday arrested after an encounter between security forces and ultras in Chhattisgarh's Dantewada district, police said.

The two, identified as Jhatel Madvi (24) and Ware Mandavi (26), were held from the forest near Surnar village in Katekalyan police station limits, Dantewada Superintendent of Police Abhishek Pallava said.

"A patrolling team of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), District Reserve Guard (DRG) and district force was combing Surnar when it came under Naxal fire. While the ultras fled following retaliatory fire from the forces, Madvi and Mandavi were nabbed," he said.

"We have recovered a tiffin bomb, detonators, electric wire, Maoist literature from the two," he added.
