The killing of Naxal leader Vikram Gowda by the Anti-Naxal Force (ANF) in Karnataka was a last-resort action during a "chance encounter," according to the state's Internal Security Division DGP Pronab Mohanty.

Following the encounter, combing operations in the forest area have been intensified to apprehend other Naxal members.
