**Bhubaneswar:** In a major success to the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) fighting against the left wing extremists in neighbouring Chhattisgarh, 20 Maoists were reportedly killed in the Bijapur encounter.
Talking to a national news agency, the CRPF IG informed that about 350 jawans during the operation first time noticed Maoists wearing COBRA uniform on Sunday.
Notably, such a triumphant retaliation was executed after 25 CRPF jawans were martyred in a deadly attack by the ultras in Chhattisgarh’s Sukma area recently.
