At least six National Liberation Front of Tripura ultras were killed in an encounter with the Assam Rifles jawans at Khedachara in north Tripura today.

Police said acting on a tip-off, Assam Rifles personnel launched a combing operation late last night and cordoned off a rebel hideout at the area under Bhangmun police station. The police opened fire on the ultras, who also retaliated and in the ensuing ten-hour-long gun-battle, six extremists were killed on the spot.

A massive search was on to recover arms and ammunition from the area.
