The Telangana Police’s Greyhounds swooped on a Naxal camp in Chhattisgarh’s Bijapur district in an early morning operation on Friday killing at least 10 Maoists, including six women. A personnel of the elite force, too, lost his life in the operation which took place at around 6.30 am, officials said. Acting on an intelligence report, the personnel of Greyhounds went 35 km into neighbouring Chhattisgarh and launched an operation on the Maoist camp, they said. The Greyhounds, an anti-Naxal force, swooped on the camp as part of a joint operation with the Chhattisgarh Police. It is a normal practise with Maoists to give hi-tech assault rifles to senior cadre members, officials said.
