Out of the 16 Maoists, security forces confirmed the identities of at least seven so far. They include central committee member Chalapathi who was carrying a bounty of ₹1 crore, a divisional committee member and two area committee members.

Sources in the State Police Headquarters said it is not the numbers of the red ultras killed but the quality of the top leaders who were eliminated in the operation which is a setback for the outlawed outfit.
