According to AP Police, two constables of Greyhounds, an elite anti-Maoist force, were injured in the encounter. Police suspect that a top Maoist leader and son of another high ranking cadre might be among those killed in the encounter. The injured constables were shifted for treatment to the King George Hospital in Visakhapatnam by helicopter, the police official added. Police have recovered four AK-47 rifles from the scene of the encounter, where a Maoist den was also found. The DGP said combing operation was still continuing as there was information that there were some more Maoists roaming in the region.
