A special District Police team raided the place and could be able to arrest the Maoist and his associate Shankar,” said Kabita Jalan, Superintendent of Police, addressing a press conference at Bargarh. Jalan said the Police recovered a small fire arm with 12 live cartridges, compass, maps of Odisha and Bargarh, hand sketches of the District armoury of Bargarh and Bargarh Police Station, cash worth INR 2, 290 and literature and leaflets containing anti-government writing from their possession. Girish was earlier arrested on November 14, 2007 at Bariatu under Ranchi Police Station of Jharkhand. However, he escaped from Chaibasa Divisional Jail on January 18, 2011 along with comrades Motilal Soren alias Sandeep and Raghunath Hembrom alias Nirbhay, and went underground in Saranda forest for a few months.

The gun-battle took place at Bhaliagada forest in Gobindpur Panchayat area under Mohana Police Station limits of Gajapati District bordering Ganjam District around 11 am when a police patrolling party came across a Maoist camp where Panda and around 15 of his associates were present, police said. "The Maoists opened fire and our men retaliated likewise. The gun-battle continued for an hour. We have recovered five bodies (all male) from the spot," Director General of Police (DGP) Prakash Mishra said. "Their identities are yet to be ascertained, but we believe they were from Kandhamal and Gajapati Districts and indoctrinated in the Maoist ideology," he added. Police said the blood trail from spot of encounter to the jungle suggested that some of the extremists were injured. "We have seized an Italian-make pistol, which is supposed to be Panda's personal weapon. This forces us to suspect he was present during the gun-battle and could be injured as well," a senior Police officer said. Superintendent of Police (SP) (Ganjam) Ashish Singh said Police have seized four country-made guns, two 9 mm pistols, around 80 kg of explosives and 35 rounds of live cartridges from the spot.

He has been recruiting people to the group," adds The Business Standard. Further, according to Press Trust of India, another cadre was arrested following the encounter.
