Naxalite Neutralized in Bijapur Encounter: Major Blow to Maoist Insurgency

Security forces achieved a major success in Chhattisgarh’s anti-Naxal campaign on September 27, 2025, by neutralizing a wanted Maoist commander during a fierce encounter in Bijapur’s Karregutta forests. The insurgent, carrying a bounty of ₹8 lakh, was killed in a two-hour gunbattle. Arms, explosives, and Maoist literature were recovered, foiling planned attacks in the region. Officials hailed the strike as a decisive step toward a Naxal-free state, though activists have called for transparency in encounter investigations.
