The Maoists also had brought some people carrying traditional weapons, possibly to snatch the weapons from the CRPF men. However, source confirmed that all seven troopers belonged to the “non-combat” staff and were carrying no weapons with them. Upadhyay added “The blast was so powerful that the bodies were thrown 100-150 metres away. Almost all of them might have died in the explosion or would have been on the verge of death. But it is true that Maoists shot some of the bodies.” The deceased troopers were identified as Sub-Inspector D. Vijay Raj, Constables Pradeep Tirkey, Rupnarayan Das, Devendra Chourasia, Ranjan Dash and Mritunjoy Mukharjee and driver Saindane Nana Usesing.

The traffic on the route was disrupted for nearly 10 hours till a railway team reached the site and reinstalled the broken railway lines. "Maoists are targeting the rail tracks as they are public property. Mostly passenger trains ply on this route.

Three days later, the Maoists blew up the railway tracks again. Sources said that the blast was triggered by a Maoist squad that came from outside the District. Local Maoist ‘commander’ Santosh Da was also with them. Deputy Inspector General (DIG), Koylanchal, Saket Singh said a massive anti-Maoist search operation is being conducted in the jungles near Dumri Vihar. Necessary directions have been given to Police officers to avoid repetition of such incidents. The restoration work was completed by the railways in the presence of Police.
