"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.
