On Thursday morning, an improvised explosion device (IED) blast by Maoists at Ghotiya in Dantewada district of Chhattisgarh injured eleven people whilst leaving one dead.
Dantewada SP Abhishek Pallav said the incident occurred at around 7:30 am today. The official said the victims were on way to neighbouring Telangana.
"Dantewada police reached the spot to rescue and shift the injured to the hospital," says Dantewada SP.
"The vehicle, a Bolero, came under the impact of the IED blast, causing injuries to all 12 occupants, including a woman. Of them, two were critically injured, while 10 others received minor injuries," the official said.
The official said they suspect the rebels might have planned to target security forces, but mistakenly attacked the civilian vehicle.
