Two top leaders of the CPI (Maoist) escape from the scene of the firing
VISAKHAPATNAM: Three woman naxalites were killed in an exchange of fire between a group of about 10 to 15 CPI (Maoist) cadres and a joint team of the Andhra Pradesh and Orissa police near Ramannaguda in Rayagada district of Orissa, about 30 to 40 km from the State border, on Wednesday morning.
According to information received by the Vizianagaram police, the dead included Potanapalli Subhdara, alias Swarna (30), wife of the Maoist party’s Srikakulam divisional committee secretary Daya (Chamala Krishnamurthy) and Landa Rajeswari alias Sarada (26), wife of Gora Vallabha Rao alias Murali, Srikakulam divisional committee member. The third was said to be one Jeevani, aged around 20, of Rayagada, Vizianagaram SP Y. Gangadhar said.
Combing party
The Maoists were reportedly on their way back to the Andhra Pradesh side of the border when they encountered a combing party around 7 a.m. The exchange of fire occurred for about 30 minutes after which the Maoists escaped from the place. Later, police found the bodies of the three woman Maoists. An INSAS rifle, two .303 rifles, a carbine and more than 100 rounds of ammunition were also found at the spot.
Meanwhile, it was alleged that Modem Balakrishna, alias Bhaskar, who is a member of Maoists’ Andhra Orissa Border State Committee, and Daya escaped from the scene of the incident during the exchange of fire.
Encounter?
Other reports said that the AP police tried to pick up Bhaskar and Daya along with two or three top Maoists leaders of Orissa in Rayagada district, who were reportedly meeting in a place between Rayagada and Gummada junction. But the top leaders either did not turn up or escaped while the three women were caught. The police brought them towards the AP border and allegedly shot them dead.
