Have the police encircled AOB military commission chief Chalapathi alias Ramachandra Reddy, Visakha division committee secretary Ganesh and a few top leaders of the Maoist party in the Gabarla reserve forest area?
It is learnt that a heavy exchange of fire was still going on between the Maoists and the Greyhounds parties at Amberupadu, close to Orissa border, where nearly 60-70 Maoist dalam members were reportedly slugging it out with the special party police to ensure a “safe entry” for Chalapathi into Malkangiri district.
The fact that two SLRs were recovered from the encounter site (which the police are refusing to confirm) meant there were Maoist commanders in the naxal parties, sources told HNN late on Tuesday.
It is learnt that Chalapthi was in G K Veedhi mandal area last week, addressed a party meeting deep inside the forest and was on his way back to Orissa to attend an important meeting when the police cornered him, following a tip-off. According to sources, the gunfire was continuing in the dense forests of Pedabayulu mandal.
The encounter site at Amberupadu is said to be the crossing point for the Maoists from Andhra border to reach Orissa. “The crossing point is hardly 500 metres from the Orissa border,” an intelligence official said.
