Hello
The Kolkata side edged their Bengaluru hosts 3-1 in the season opener on Saturday.
Wayanad District Police Chief G Poonguzhali said that the group of armed Maoists fired at the Kerala police team. The IPS officer added that the police is yet to identify all members of the Left extremists gang.
The forensic report also said that there were no particles or remains of gunpowder on Jaleel's right hand either.
The team reached the Bhavani river bank in the Murugala area around 6pm and got in touch with the Malappuram police station through a satellite phone.
Deepak (Chandu), said to be a master trainer in Maoist activities, was nabbed from Moolakangal.
Four Maoists - Manivasakam, Karthi, Rama and Arvind - were killed in alleged fake encounters with the police inside the Agali forest on October 28 and 29.
K Prakash Babu, assistant secretary of the CPI, who visited the encounter site in the forests at Manjakkatty near Attappady in Palakkad, alleged that the cops not only staged a fake encounter but also forged false evidence to validate it.
The Kerala Thunderbolts first gunned down Kuppu Devaraj and Ajitha in 2016 in Nilambur in Malappuram district. Three years later, they killed CP Jaleel in Vythiri in Wayanad district.
The face-off of the extremists with the Thunderbolt personnel took place on the Agali-Ooty road which runs through the Manjakandi forest.
The Thunderbolt team was constituted to protect people from Maoists.
