In a significant breakthrough in India's long running campaign against Left Wing Extremism, security forces are believed to have killed the country's most wanted Maoist commander, Madvi Hidma, during an intense exchange of fire in the Maredumilli Mandal region along the Andhra Pradesh-Chhattisgarh border on Tuesday.

The security forces gunned down Hidma and five others, including his wife, at Maredumilli while they were trying to enter the state through Alluri Sitharam Raju (ASR) district in Andhra Pradesh.

Senior officials confirmed six Maoists were neutralised in the gun battle, and that preliminary indicators strongly suggest Hidma is among them. Combing operations continued through the day to secure the area and verify identities.
