The teams were acting on specific inputs about the movement of 13–15 armed Naxal cadres in the area. The gun battle broke out early Wednesday, and combing operations are still in progress.
“Search operations after the incident led the cops to massive blood stains, backpacks and other materials, based on which massive damage (including possibly casualty) to the outlaws cannot be ruled out,” Srivastava added.
Sharma was a native of Gadarwara in Narsinghpur district and had joined the Madhya Pradesh Police as a sub-inspector nine years ago. He was promoted earlier this year in recognition of his outstanding service. According to reports from Narsinghpur, he was to be married in January 2026.
Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav condoled the death, saying, “He displayed unprecedented valour and courage during the joint operation by the police forces of the three states in the jungles of Chhattisgarh’s Rajnandgaon district. His supreme sacrifice in the national campaign to wipe out Naxalism will remain unforgettable.”

Even after taking heavy fire, Sharma continued to lead his team. Bleeding from multiple wounds, he kept firing at the cadres hiding behind thick forest cover until he collapsed.
