A day earlier in the same District, the Maoists triggered a landmine blast at Varnia Ghati in the hilly tracts of Barwadi blowing up a bus ferrying the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel leading to an exchange of fire with the Security Forces in which two CRPF personnel, a civilian driver and five Maoists were killed. Immediately after the blast, 80 CRPF constables, who had earlier alighted from the bus fearing a Maoist attack since a road stretch had a sharp incline slowing down traffic and were walking behind the vehicle, took positions and fired on the extremists, Inspector General of Police (Provisions) S.N.
