CRPF-Naxal gunfight again, no casualty
The CRPF engaged in an encounter with suspected Maoists at the same
spot in Sarkeguda village where 19 people were killed last week.
Around 100 CRPF men who were on patrolling duty ahead of the day-long bandh called by the Maoists in the area on Thursday to protest against the killings, engaged in the gunbattle.
“A team of CRPF men including CoBRA forces had gone to the area for patrolling when they were fired at. For about half-an-hour the encounter continued but no one was injured or killed,” said Pankaj Kumar Singh, IG (Operations), Delhi. The operation was planned to build continuous pressure on the Maoists and thwart their attempts for a comeback in the area. Security officials said the Maoists held meetings with the villagers on Wednesday urging them to make the bandh a success.
