New Delhi: Two Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were killed and several security personnel sustained injuries in an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) blast in Chhattisgarh’s Naxal insurgency-affected Sukma district. The Naxalites targeted a truck carrying security forces with an IED blast around 3 pm on Sunday within the Jagar Gunda police station limits between Silger and Tekulagudem when they were on their way to fetch their weekly groceries, agencies reported.

The COBRA 201 jawans, who lost their lives, have been identified as 35-year-old Vishnu R from Kerala’s Trivandrum and 29-year-old Shailendra from Uttar Pradesh’s Kanpur.

Rescue teams were rushed to the spot and the injured jawans were taken to the hospital.

This comes a day after an anti-Naxal operation directed the Chhattisgarh Police towards a racket printing counterfeit notes that were being used to destabilise the local economy in the Sukma district. Police had found currency printers, ink, and notes of several denominations.
