Seven Maoists, including four men and three women, were killed on Wednesday in Andhra Pradesh’s Alluri Sitarama Raju district. Police said the encounter happened as the operation continued a day after top Maoist leader Madvi Hidma and five others were killed. ADGP Mahesh Chandra Laddha said the latest group may include members who escaped the earlier encounter. One of the dead was bomb expert Metturu Jogarao, wanted by the NIA. Police have also arrested 50 Maoists across multiple districts. Officers said the group was trying to regroup near the Andhra–Odisha border. Security has been increased for political leaders.
