The ambush comes eight days after serial IED blasts aimed at Security Forces (SFs) in Kharsawan on May 20, at a point six kilometres away from Tuesday’s (May 28) blast. Superintendent of Police (SP), Chandan Sinha said it could be a revengeful show of strength for rebels who could not disrupt the just-concluded Lok Sabha (Lower House of the Indian Parliament) elections in what had been their stronghold. Around 4.45am, rebels triggered a single, medium-intensity IED blast on a kutcha or non-metaled road in hilly forested Kuchai where a joint team of around 2,000 personnel comprising Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBRA), a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) team specialising in anti-Maoist operations, Jharkhand Jaguar (JJ) and District Police had been deployed on an anti-insurgency operation. As the injured men collapsed, other members of the team retaliated with heavy firing, which lasted for 20 minutes. Inspector General of Police (IGP) Ashish Batra said, “The Maoists triggered more than 15 blasts injuring the jawans. Four jawans are critical while four others sustained serious injuries. The other jawans who were part of the overall team performing combing operations, too, sustained minor injuries but they were discharged from the hospital after preliminary examination.”
