Fresh blow to Naxals: Security forces gun down three top Maoist leaders in Andhra Pradesh

In a significant setback for CPI (Maoists), security forces neutralized three top leaders—Gajarla Ravi (Uday), Aruna, and Anju—in an encounter in Andhra Pradesh’s Alluri Sitarama Raju district. The operation near Kintukuru village resulted in the recovery of AK-47 rifles and prompted ongoing combing operations to apprehend escaped Maoists, including a district committee member.
