The operation to capture Sajanti took place on Thursday, when the Hawk Force received intelligence about the presence of Naxalites from the KB Division in the Parasatola-Chichrangpur forest area near Baihar police station.
Acting on a tip-off, the Hawk Force SOG launched a search operation in the dense forest. During the search, two suspicious individuals were spotted, and after a brief pursuit, one of them, identified as Sajanti, was apprehended.
The another Naxalite managed to escape, who reportedly tipped off his other comrades about capture of Sajanti.
A group of Naxalites also attacked the police convoy to free their female member. No injuries or casualties on forces.
Atleast 40-50 rounds were fired on the forces who returned fire. The remaining naxals fled away.
A large-scale search operation, involving teams from the CRPF Cobra and Hawk Force, is currently underway to apprehend the fleeing Naxalites.
