In the Dantewada district of Chhattisgarh, a group of fifteen Naxalites, including seven women, were arrested by the police on Tuesday. This came after an IED blast which was set off by the Naxalites during a search operation by the security forces on Sunday. Luckily, no one was hurt in the explosion.
According to officials, the Naxalites were taken into custody near Gumalnar village, while the security forces were conducting a joint operation with the District Reserve Guard and the Bastar Fighters. Unnati Thakur, the Deputy Superintendent of Police in Dantewada, stated that most of the arrested individuals were known to be active members of the CPI's frontal units.
The incident took place on Saturday when the patrolling team began their search in the forest of Gumalnar and Mustalnar villages. Around 4:30 pm on Sunday, the Naxalites triggered an improvised explosive device, with the intention of targeting the security personnel. However, their plan was unsuccessful as no one was harmed in the blast.
After the explosion, the security forces noticed some individuals attempting to flee the area. They immediately took action and managed to apprehend fifteen suspects. Upon interrogation, it was revealed that they were hiding in the forest in order to carry out an attack on the security personnel.
The police also recovered various items from the arrested Naxalites, including an IED, electric wire, detonator, a steel tiffin box, Maoist literature, and even a Maoist uniform. The suspects were presented in court and have been remanded in judicial custody.
This incident serves as a reminder of the constant threat of Naxalite attacks in the region and the bravery of our security forces in combating them. The police have assured that they will continue to take necessary measures to maintain peace and security in the area.
