Suspense over the death toll of Maoists in an encounter with Greyhounds of A.P. and Odisha Special Operations Group on the other side of border with Odisha in Koraput district on January 5 continues. Bodies were not recovered and the death toll varies from five to seven. However, the Greyhounds have reportedly noticed arrangements like three-tier security, food material, etc. for a gathering of 200 to 300 at Mukkupali and Donkapodar on the outskirts of Bejjanji village where they faced firing from the Maoists. The security arrangements indicated presence of some top most leaders of the party. The top leaders have left the area after attending the meeting before the police reached the area following a tip off. A used insulin injection syringe found in the area gave a strong indication that Uday, secretary of Malkangiri area committee was present.
