According to reports, it was CRPF’s biggest single-day casualty in Chhattisgarh this year. On Monday afternoon, 14 of its personnel, including two officers, were killed in a Maoist attack in Chintagufa area of Sukma district

At least 13 personnel have been injured. Six Naxals have also been reportedly killed in the attack.

The Maoists allegedly used villagers as human shields and fired at the soldiers, who could not retaliate. A senior CRPF officer told ‘The Naxals were using local villagers as shields, so our troops couldn't retaliate with full force as that would also have cost villagers' lives.”
