Naxals dressed in a CRPF uniform fired at the security guards of the former BSF Director-General, E.N. Rammohan, who started his probe into the April 6 massacre of 76 personnel by Maoists in Dantewada district.

“As they were securing the area, there was a gunfight with Maoists at a distance from a spot which Mr. Rammohan was supposed to visit, Superintendent of Police Amresh Mishra told PTI.

Official sources said the Naxals first fired a few random shots at the personnel posted for the security of Mr. Rammohan at Chintalnar. No one was injured.
