Naxals shoot CPI worker, trigger landmine blast in Dantewada:
Raipur, Jun 15 (PTI) Alleged Naxals shot a worker of Communist Party of India and triggered a landmine blast in which two CRPF jawans were injured, in Dantewada district of Chhattisgarh.
All three of them have been admitted to hospital. District police authorities told PTI that Naxals attacked Chhotebedma village in Kuakonda station jurisdiction in the district last night, and shot Mudararam Sodhi (65), a worker of CPI and elder brother of a former MLA Nandram Sodhi.
Naxals, before shooting Sodhi outside his house, alleged that he was a police informer.
After learning about the incident, CRPF and police personnel visited the village this morning and sent Sodhi to hospital. However, when they were returning, Naxals triggered a landmine blast between Palnar and Kuakonda, authorities said.
Two jawans of CRPF's 111th battalion were injured seriously in the blast, they said.
Senior CPI leader, C R Bakshi condemned the attack. He said that according to his information, some 30 Naxals had raided the village. They beat up some locals, before shooting Sodhi. PTI
