India Claims ‘Landmark’ Killing of Top Maoist Rebel

Indian security forces killed at least 27 Maoist rebels, including top leader Basava Raju, in a gunfight on May 21 in the Abujhmad region of Chhattisgarh.

The encounter dealt a significant blow to the decades-old insurgency, though Maoist leaders stated they remain ready for peace talks amid continuing conflict.
