Jamshedpur, Sep 18 (ANI): Security forces busted a Maoist hideout in Jharkhand following an encounter and recovered arms and ammunition from them. Police and personnel of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) were conducting a joint search operation in Ghatshila town near Jamshedpur city following a tip-off when the Maoists opened fire, forcing security personnel to retaliate. However, the Maoists fled later. Senior Superintendent of Police, Jamshedpur, Anoop T. Mathew said the items recovered from the camp also included Maoist literature. Food packets and water bottles were also found at the Maoist camp. The police added that with the help of literature, they would be able to know what plans these Maoists had made for the future. The Maoists, also known as 'Naxals' in India, seek the violent overthrow of the Indian state and have fought authorities for decades, particularly in rural areas of central and eastern India where they enjoy some support.
