A Naxal commander was killed in an encounter with security personnel at Narayanpur district in Chhattisgarh on Monday, a senior police official said.
The gunfight took place at around 11.30 a.m. in the Bahker forest under the Chhotedongar police station limits when a team of the District Reserve Guard (DRG) was out on an area domination operation, Narayanpur Superintendent of Police Girija Shankar Jaiswal said.
