In a gruesome Maoist attack in the New Year, eight jawans of the District Reserve Guard and a driver were killed on Monday after the rebels blew up their vehicle in Chhattisgarh's Bijapur district, leaving behind a seven-feet-deep crater on the road. The vehicle's mangled remains were strewn across the blast site, with some parts left hanging on trees nearby, said sources. The nine victims were travelling through Kutra in the Bastar region in an SUV when the attack took place around 2.15 pm on Monday, sources said. Inspector General of Police, Bastar, Sundarraj Pattilingam said the IED blast targeted the jawans when they were returning to the camp after an operation.
