Four Naxals gunned down in Jharkhand

Meanwhile, Kanti, a member of the Nari Mukti Manch, CPI(Maoist)’s women’s wing, has been giving the police a tough time.

Hazaribagh SP Praveen Singh said the slain Naxalites were either from Hazaribagh or Giridih. He said the police acted on a tip-off that an armed squad of Naxalites were going to hold a meeting in the Sundermando village.

As the security forces, led by Bhola Singh, approached the village, the Naxalites, perched on a vantage point, fired at them. The security forces retaliated and a two-hour gunbattle ensued.
