Assistant superintendent of police (ASP) Rampachodavaram, G Sai Prashanth, stated, "It has come to our notice that a few individuals and organisations have made unfounded and baseless allegations concerning the operations conducted against LWE elements, particularly regarding the Exchange of Fire (EOF) that occurred on June 18, 2025, in the Kintukuru area. We categorically refute all such allegations." He clarified that the location of the said EOF is a dense forest area, far from any civilian habitation, and that no civilian casualties occurred. The encounter ensued when police teams came under gunfire from armed Maoists. All procedures mandated for an independent and impartial investigation post-encounter were followed diligently and within the prescribed timelines. The ASP appealed to underground cadres and Maoist sympathisers to abandon violence and take advantage of the government's surrender and rehabilitation schemes. He emphasised the police's commitment to ensuring a dignified reintegration of such individuals into mainstream society.
