New Delhi, December 3
A Naxalite was killed in a gunfight with security forces in Jharkhand’s West Singhbhum district.
The police stated that the gunfight broke out in Tomrom village after a police team that went to the spot on the basis of a tip-off intercepted members of the proscribed People’s Liberation Front of India (PLFI).
The deceased was identified as PLFI’s ‘area commander’ Radung Bodra alias Lamboo. He was wanted in 29 criminal cases registered in West Singhbhum and Khunti districts.
The force had worked on an intel that Lamboo along with three-four members of his squad were seen in the Tebo forest to execute firings when the police teams stuck. On seeing the police, the ultras started firing from the bank of the Roro river, forcing the personnel to retaliate in self-defence.
The others from the extremist group fled taking advantage of the dense forest.
