The exchange of fire ensued on Wednesday night in the forest under Kohkameta police station limits in Abujhmad area,” said the district police chief.
“The two recovered bodies were identified as Seema, a member of the Maoists Kutul Area Committee, and Linge alias Ranjhu, a member of the Maoists Kutul Local Organization Squad (LOS) in Sukma district.

The district police chief concluded his remarks by telling the press that search operations are continuing in the surrounding forest areas to trace other alleged Maoist cadres who escaped by taking advantage of the dense jungle during the firefight.
