Dinakaran said the Maoists attacked the joint troops of 113 CRPF Battalion and the Maharashtra Police when they were carrying out searches in the area.

"Constable Manjunath was killed in the second attack of the Maoists in about two-hours span. 

"The first attack was attempted around 5.40 p.m. It was averted after the troops retaliated promptly.
 

"The Maoists fled the scene at that time. However, they returned again around 7.50 p.m. in large numbers. They fired upon the troops. The security forces retaliated, but lost our constable," Dinakaran said.
