Ranadeb was cremated at his native village Tekaguda under Kalimela police limits in Malkangiri district on Sunday.

Madhi was among six top cadres who were killed in the encounter with the Greyhounds inside Theegalametta forest in Koyyuru Mandal under Mampa police limits in Vishakhapatnam district of Andhra Pradesh on June 16.
