Raipur: The Maoists
Sunday night carried out a deadly attack on a patrol party of
paramilitary Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) in
Chhattisgarh's Dantewada district in which six jawans and a
civilian driver were killed, police said.
"Dozens of armed Maoists ambushed a vehicle carrying a patrol team
of the CISF jawans and sprayed bullets all around. Six troopers
were killed besides a civilian driver," Dantewada Superintendent
of Police Narendra Khare told IANS.
Additional Director General of Police (Maoist operation) Ramniwas
said that the guerrillas ambushed the troopers around 9.30 p.m.
The incident took place at a mining check-post at Kirandul town,
420 km from state capital Raipur.
Reports said that after the incident the Maoists took away the six
CISF troopers' assault rifles.
Jawans of the district force were rushed to the site, police said.
Kirandul is situated in Bailadila hills where public sector
National Mineral Development Corporation Ltd. (NMDC) mines
two-third of its roughly 25 million tonnes annual iron ore output.
The killings created a scare in the hilly area and dozens of NMDC
miners were stuck at their work place for hours, said Ramniwas.
