He said that police on Friday got information about a Maoist camp in the densely-forested Nelnar in Abujhmarh area of the the district, 300 km south of Raipur, and on the next day, a joint team comprising district police and Special Task Force (STF) reached the bank of the Madin river in Nelnar and spotted the camp.
The security forces then cordoned-off the camp, but somehow the insurgents smelt the presence of police and opened fire on them. The joint force retaliated and the gun battle lasted for about 40 minutes.
