Two women and a 15-year-old girl were killed in an IED (Improvised Explosives Device) blast in Narayanpur district of Chhattisgarh on Wednesday night.
Four other women also suffered injuries in the explosion allegedly planted by the Maoists near Tumanar village under Narayanpur police station limits of restive Bastar region of the State.
“Two women from Tumnar village under Narayanpur police station limits and one minor girl have been killed. Four women from the same village were injured in a pressure IED blast in Narayanpur district. The Maoists had planted the IED to target security forces deployed to facilitate ongoing road construction on that axis,” said Bastar range Inspector General of Police Shiv Ram Prasad Kalluri in a statement.
“Let us all unite to condemn these serial killings and senseless violence by the Maoists. Let us warn the Maoists and their frontal organisations, NGOs, over ground sympathizers, legal aid groups, Fact Finding teams and so called human rights activists that Bastar shall no longer tolerate murder and massacre on the pretext of fighting for Adivasis. The Maoists and these organisations are killing Adivasis for extorting terror money from Bastar,” Mr.Kalluri claimed.
