A gunfight broke out between Security Forces (SFs) and Naxals [Left Wing Extremists, LWEs] on the outskirts of Ranchi city on January 12, reports Business Standard. Acting on a tip-off that five members of the Tritiya Sammelan Prastuti Committee (TSPC), a splinter group of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), were in a forest in the Budmu Police Station area, a search operation was started around 3.30 pm, and seeing the SFs, a gunfight broke out between the Naxals and the forces. "However, the extremists escaped taking advantage of the forest," Superintendent of Police (Ranchi-Rural) Naushad Alam said. A rifle and live bullets were seized from the area, he added.
