Last Updated 28 October 2009, 19:23 IST

As a first step in this direction, the cops joined hands with the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and destroyed a full-fledged training camp of the Maoists in the dense forest of Munger district in central Bihar. The police also recovered detonators, flash impoverished explosive devices, live cartridges, knives, Naxal literature, police uniform, generator sets, perfumes and cosmetics used by women activists from the training camp.

The camp was being run by the ultras at Bhimbandh.

On getting specific information about the Maoists’ camp, a joint police team of district police, Special Task Force and the CRPF was constituted under the leadership of Munger SP Sunil Nayak.

Though the police demolished Naxalites’ citadel, some 100-odd armed guerrillas managed to escape from there taking advantage of the topography of the area, said sources.
