Security forces dismantled a Maoist monument in Chhattisgarh’s Narayanpur district during an anti-Naxal operation, signalling intensified efforts to weaken insurgent influence in Bastar.
"The attack, which took place near Amboli village around 2:15 pm, involved a powerful IED blast followed by gunfire. The security team was returning from a joint anti-Maoist operation when their vehicle was targeted," Bastar Range IG P Sundarraj said.
The scam came to light when a whistleblower shared screenshots on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), prompting immediate action from the Bastar administration.
Besides, two Insas rifles, two .303 rifles, one 12 bore gun and a few muzzle loading guns were recovered from the spot.
