Maoist Leader Killed in Bihar Encounter
A man named Dayanand Malakar, who was a leader in a group called the CPI-Maoist, was killed in a fight with the police in Bihar.
He had a reward of Rs 50,000 for his capture because he was wanted for many crimes.
The police went to a place where he was hiding after getting a tip.
When he saw the police, he tried to run away and shot at them.
The police shot back, and he got hurt.
He was taken to a hospital but was declared dead.
Two of his friends were caught, and the police found some guns and bullets at the scene.
No police were hurt in the fight.
Dayanand Malakar, a Maoist leader with a Rs 50,000 bounty, was killed in an encounter with security forces in Bihar's Begusarai district.
Malakar was the secretary of the North-Bihar Central Zonal Committee of the outlawed CPI-Maoist and was wanted in over 14 criminal cases.
The encounter took place in the Teghra area of Begusarai on Wednesday evening, where Malakar tried to escape and fired at the police.
Two of Malakar's associates were arrested, and the police recovered a 5.56 MM INSAS rifle, a country-made pistol, and several cartridges from the spot.
