Times of India reports that Superintendent of Police (SP) Viresh Prabhu confirmed the death of a top Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leader Nagesh alias Shankar Tukka Pungati (38), ‘commander-in-chief’ of North Gadchiroli-Gondia division, along with two other Maoist cadres on the basis of Maoists pamphlets recovered from Malewada Village in Kurkheda Taluk (administrative division) in Gadchiroli District on May 9. Nagesh was killed along with two other Maoist cadres in a fierce encounter in the forests of Khobramendha near Malewada village under Wadsa division of Gadchiroli District in the afternoon of April 19. The two other slain Maoists were ‘platoon party member’ Manglu (17) and PLGA member Manju (17). While Manglu belonged to Bastar area in Chhattisgarh, Manju hailed from Pipli (Burgi) village in Etapalli tehsil (administrative division) of Aheri sub-division of the District. "Nagesh was mastermind of several attacks on security forces. The death of two juvenile Naxalites proves that Naxals are enticing the juvenile youths to join the movement," the SP added. Nagesh had clubbed four different Maoists dalams (squad) and had laid ambush on a patrolling party of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in the hilly terrain of Khobramendha jungles on April 19. However, pamphlets of Maharashtra State Committee of Maoists recovered from Malewada a couple of days back claimed that three Maoists including Nagesh were killed in the Khobramendha encounter. "We will avenge each drop of our comrades by spoiling Operation Green Hunt," the pamphlet added.
