Chattisgarh, May 9 (ANI): A security personnel was killed and three were injured in a gun battle between the police and the Maoists.

The incident occurred in Sukhma district of central Chhattisgarh when officials of the Chhattisgarh Armed Forces (CAF) were attacked by the Maoists while they were patrolling the area.

As the patrolling party reached near the forest of Kistaram village, the rebels opened fire on them, killing one soldier and injuring three others.

Two of the three injured soldiers were brought to Raipur for medical treatment.

"The soldiers were out patrolling the region for area domination when in an ambush the Maoists fired at them. One of the injured was shot near the ear in the neck and another was shot near the shoulder with the bullet passing through the body. The injured soldiers are under observation and their condition is said to be stable," said Superintendent of police, Mukesh Khare.

The deceased policeman was identified as constable Parshu Markam. The three injured soldiers were platoon commander Bhagwat Baghel, head constables Ramnarayan Singh and Rajbahor Patel.

Meanwhile, in Jharkhand, police officials arrested two notorious Maoists after setting up a trap in Ranchi.

The two Maoists identified as Mahendra Bhuinya and Sikander Yadav.

Maoists have significantly increased their presence in tribal and rural regions in the states of Chhattisgarh, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal and Odisha as well as certain parts of Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh.

The Maoists say they are fighting for the rights of millions of landless labourers and marginal farmers.

However, the government has termed them to be India's main internal security threat and an obstacle to economic growth .

The Maoists have killed police and politicians, and targeted government buildings and railway tracks in an insurgency that has killed thousands since the 1960s. (ANI)
