Two jawans of the CRPF’s Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBRA) unit suffered injuries when an improvised explosive device (IED), allegedly planted by Naxalites, went off in Chhattisgarh’s Bijapur district, a police official announced to the press today.
According to the police official, the explosion took place on Sunday afternoon, when a joint team of security personnel was out on an anti-Naxal combing operation in the Farsegarh police station area. Personnel belonging to the Special Task Force (STF) and District Reserve Guard (DRG) — both units of the state police — and CoBRA were involved in the operation, which is still underway.
When the patrolling team was cordoning off the forest of Farsegarh-Pillur Kandlaparti, an IED allegedly planted by Naxalites exploded, causing minor injuries to two CoBRA jawans. The injured personnel were shifted to a hospital in Raipur, where their condition was reported to be stable and out of danger, the police official said in conclusion.
