A group of Naxalites opened fire at a combined security force on Sunday that was creating awareness among villagers ahead of Maharashtra Assembly polls in the interiors of Gadhchiroli district, police said.
Maharashtra police have made extensive security arrangements to ensure that voting for the October 15 Maharashtra Assembly polls goes peacefully with the deployment of over 2 lakh state police personnel, along with the reserved police forces.
Vernon Gonsalves, who spent nearly six years in jail after being labelled a Naxalite by the security agencies, recounts in detail his arrest, the case against him and his future plans in an exclusive interview.
