New Delhi [India], November 18 (ANI) Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday spoke to top officials after the security forces neutralised Madvi Hidma , one of the most notorious Naxal commander s wanted in multiple cases of deadly attacks on security forces, top sources said.

Hidma was eliminated days ahead of the November 30 deadline set by security agencies for his capture or neutralisation, the sources told ANI.

Hidma, accused of orchestrating over 25 armed assaults on security forces and civilians, was reportedly shot dead in an encounter in Andhra Pradesh's Alluri Sitharamaraju district.

Sources said the gun battle took place near the tri-junction of Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Telangana -- a region long used by Maoists as a tactical safe zone.
