Team Bhaskar learned surprising things about the biggest ever Naxalite encounter that took place on April 16 in Kalpar, Kankar in the state. Out of the 29 Naxalites whose bodies were recovered by the force after the encounter, 3 boxes of a deadly chemical called aconite were seized from the pockets of the clothes of 3 Naxalites. Along with this, a large number of two types of needles were found. This chemical is so deadly that if a person is stabbed, death from a heart attack is certain within 45 minutes.

The same thing happened with the bullets seized from the pockets of the Naxalites.
