A constable of Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBRA), Satya Prakash Deswal, succumbed to bullet injuries and Jharkhand Jaguar havildar Sanjay Paswan was injured in an encounter with the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) deep inside the forest in Labhar picket under Burwadih Police Station in Latehar District on April 5, reports The Hindu. A Police chopper that was sent to rescue the injured Policemen was forced to return after the Maoists retaliated with gun fire. Sources said the chopper could not land because of firing. After sometime, another chopper was pressed into operation that landed in Palamu and brought the injured Policemen from there, who were in turn ferried to Palamu through road after being rescued from the encounter site. Deswal, however, died on way. Latehar Superintendent of Police (SP) Kranti Kumar Garhdesi said that a joint team of CoBRA, Jharkhand Jaguar and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) ventured into the Karamdeeh forests bordering Chhattisgarh and was caught in a sudden firing unleashed by the Maoists. The encounter that started early in the morning and lasted for around three hours resulted in casualties on both sides. Garhdesi said the Policemen and villagers on spot noticed Maoists carrying their dead and injured associates away. "We have not been able to recover any bodies but were told by local people that they saw at least six bodies being carried on backs by rest of the Maoists into the deep forests," he said
