The body of a Maoist was today recovered from Patharchhapra jungles here, two days after an encounter between security forces and the extremists in which a CoBRA Jawan was killed.
The body was found during the ongoing search operation in the area of the encounter, Inspector General of Police (CRPF) Sanjay Anand Lathkar said.
The police also recovered an Self-Loading Rifle (SLR) near the body.
In the encounter on Friday, Maoists too suffered bullet injuries, the officer said.
