Maoists blow up anti-mine vehicle in Dantewada, CRPF man killed | | Maoists on Monday blew up a Mine Protected Vehicle (MPV) here, killing
a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel and injuring four others, and
a state police personnel. The blast occurred when a 80-personnel strong contingent
of security forces were out on patrol at a place under Aranpur police station
of the district. A helicopter was immediately pressed into service to evacuate
the injured troopers who were later brought to Dantewada. The explosion is suspected
to have been carried out by an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) kept under the
road on which the vehicle rolled over, and was completely damaged. Initial reports
said that two injured troopers are in critical condition. Senior security officials
along with reinforcements have rushed to the area, the official said.
