That's how a senior Indo-Tibetan Border Police officer summed up the sequence of events that culminated in the death of Rajesh Dugga, a 26-year-old Naxal commander who masterminded several attacks on police parties. A team of 50 soldiers were made ready for the late night operation," the ITBP officer said. Ranjit, the deputy commander of the local operation squad which Dugga headed, was also killed in the encounter. Three automatic weapons, believed to have been looted from an ambush launched by Naxals on security forces, were recovered. ITBP chief RK Pachnanda rushed to Chhattisgarh to congratulate the troops for the big success.
