Tribal civilian injured in Naxal bomb blast

Thursday, 15 November 2018 | Staff Reporter | SUKMA

A 35-year-old villager was seriously injured when a pressure improvised bomb, laid by Naxals, went off in Chhattisgarh’s Sukma district on Wednesday, police said.

The incident took place in Chintagufa police station area when the victim identified as Sodi Rahul was working in his field, Sukma Superintendent of Police Abhishek Meena told reporters.

As per the preliminary information, Rahul, a native of Sarpanch Para in Chintagufa village located around 500 kms from capital Raipur, came in contact with the pressure IED (improvised explosive device) planted near his field.

"Rahul sustained serious injuries on his leg," Meena said.

Soon after being alerted, a police team was sent to the spot and the injured was shifted to a local hospital where he was being treated.

Naxals often plant IEDs on dirt tracks adjoining fields to target security forces during their operations in the Naxal-affected forested areas.

On November 12, a villager was killed in a pressure IED blast while he was working in his field in Timmapuram village in Sukma district.
