Security forces have busted a 'transit' camp of Naxals following a gun-battle in Chhattisgarh's insurgency-hit Rajnandgaon district, police said today.
A computer monitor, a three-in-one computer printer, a keyboard, a mouse, two radios, printer ink, pitthu (bags), two plastic tents, torches and batteries, medicines and commodities of daily use were recovered from the camping site in Katema forest under Bortalav police station limits last evening, Superintendent of Police Sanjeev Shukla told PTI.
Based on specific inputs, a joint squad of the district police force and the Indo-Tibetan Border Police was carrying out a combing operation in the jungles of Bortalav bordering Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh at the time of the incident.
When the security forces were cordoning off Kandhura-Naagdevta forests, rebels opened fire.
As the jawans retaliated, the ultras fled towards Gondiya and Balaghat forests, the SP said.
Blood stains at the spot indicated that some ultras might have been killed or injured, he added.
