An exchange of fire took place in the early hours of Monday morning between a team of C-60 commandos and Maoists in Koparshi forest within the limits of Koti police station in south Gadchiroli.
No casualty was reported in the firing incident as Maoists escaped from the spot sensing mounting pressure of the commandos of C-60 which has been tasked with countering Maoist violence.
Further details are awaited in this regard.
Fifteen police personnel and a driver had lost their lives in a landmine blast triggered by the Naxals in Gadchroli last month.
