Sukma: A woman Naxalite on the radar of security forces was killed on Tuesday in a firefight in Chhattisgarh's Sukma district. The ultra, carrying a bounty of Rs 5 lakh on her head, was killed by District Reserve Guard (DRG) forces.

"So far, the body of one ultra identified as Munni, an area committee member of Maoists, carrying a reward of Rs 5 lakh on her head, was recovered from the spot," Superintendent of Police Sunil Sharma said.
