Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres shot dead five Police personnel at Kukru Bazaar under Tiruldih Police Station limits in Seraikela-Kharsawan District of Jharkhand on June 14, reports Hindustan Times. The Maoists also took away the weapons of the slain Police personnel and fled after killing them. “Maoists killed four of our jawans in Kukru this evening. The attackers rode on two motorcycles and shot the police personnel when they were patrolling. We reached the spot and immediately brought in additional forces. The looting of weapons of the slain policemen indicates that it is the handiwork of Maoists. We are trying to ascertain the Maoist squad involved in the gruesome killings,” said Superintendent of Police (SP), Chandan Sinha. Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO), Avinash Kumar said two of the slain Police personnel were Assistant Sub-Inspectors (ASIs), while two others were constables. The identity of another person killed in the incident could not be ascertained yet. The driver of the patrolling vehicle was also missing initially after the incident, but has now returned to the Tiruldih Police Station.
