New Delhi: Maoists have attacked the Bheggi Police station near Sukma in Chhattisgarh. Three jawans of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) have been killed in the attack while three others are injured.
This is the third Maoist attack in three days.
Maoists attacked the CRPF men when they were inspecting a jungle site for a base camp for a possible relocation after a Supreme Court order that had asked the security personnel to vacate school buildings, police said.
There was at least 50 cops in the police station when the Maoist attacked, yet the Maoists were able to take away weapons. The rebels have also issued an audio statement.
