The Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (Cobra) suffered its first biggest casualty after Security Force (SF) personnel recovered the bodies of five of its missing personnel on September 19, the days after the COBRA sneaked into a Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) hideout in Dantewada District and destroyed an arms factory, besides killing as many as 24 militants, according to Telegraph. Operation Green Hunt, on for the last 48 hours, has so far claimed six COBRA personnel, including Assistant Commandant Manoranjan Singh whose body was recovered on September 18. “After a massive search operation, Security personnel spotted the bodies of five missing COBRA personnel in the dense forests of Palachalam,” Inspector-General of Police (headquarters) R. K. Vij told. Among those killed were Assistant Commandant Rakesh Chaurasia, Sub-Inspector, a Head Constable and two Constables. With the death of six of its personnel in Operation Green Hunt, this would be first time that the Central Reserve Police Forces’s (CRPF) COBRA had suffered casualties while combing the forests of Chhattisgarh ever since the special unit was raised in August 2008 to fight CPI-Maoist militants.
