Naxals blow up Chhattisgarh police station, three killed

Three policemen, including an officer, were killed when armed Naxalites attacked the Bishrampur Police station in Bastar district of Chattisgarh.

''Over 50 armed Naxalites came in four vehicles to Bishrampur Police station last night and opened indiscriminate firing and then triggered multiple landmine blasts,'' said Bastar Range

Inspector General of Police, Rajinder Kumar Vij.
An Assistance Sub-Inspector and two Head Constables were killed on the spot while another constable was seriously injured in the attack, he said.

The extremists later set off three land mines and blew up the police station, the IGP said.

The police station was having 15 security personnel, but no weapons and ammunitions were issued to it fearing that the Maoists could loot that, police sources said.

After the incident, the Naxals went to Dhamtari district from where they could have slipped into Nabrangpur district of neighbouring Orissa, the sources said.
