Overview

  • Security forces killed a Maoist and seized his weapon on July 5 during an exchange of fire in Indravati National Park on the Bijapur-Dantewada border.
  • Combined teams from the District Reserve Guard, Special Task Force and CRPF launched the combing sweep based on intelligence about senior rebel cadres.
  • Police have not confirmed the fighter’s identity and are withholding updates until the operation concludes to protect personnel.
  • Official figures record 203 Maoists killed across 14 encounters in 2025 and more than 300 neutralised since early 2024.
  • The sweep underpins a government push to eliminate Maoist insurgency in Chhattisgarh by March 2026 through security operations and infrastructure development.
