One person was killed and 11 others were injured after Maoists blew up a sports utility vehicle (SUV) in which they were travelling using an improvised explosive device in Chhattisgarh's insurgency-hit Dantewada district on Thursday, a police official said. The incident took place at around 7.30 am near Ghotiya village under Malewadhi police station limits, located around 400 km from the state capital Raipur, on an under-construction route that connects Narayanpur to Dantewada, the district's Superintendent of Police, Abhishek Pallava, told PTI. The official said they suspect the rebels might have planned to target security forces, but mistakenly attacked the civilian vehicle. Police never use a four-wheeler while moving on that route, he added.More Related News
