CoBRA jawan injured in Jharkhand Maoist encounter
RANCHI: A CoBRA jawan AK Tripathi, 35, was injured in a fierce encounter between security forces and Maoists in Kuchai forest on the border of Saraikela-Kharsawa and Khunti districts on Wednesday evening. CRPF IG Jharkhand Rakesh Mishra said the injured jawan is being brought to Ranchi for treatment. A search operation was launched in Maoist dominated Kuchai forest when police got intelligence inputs about Maoists holding a meeting in the area. “The extremists opened fire on security forces moving into the forest where Maoists were holding a meeting. Security forces have strongly retaliated, and the encounter is still going on,” a CRPF official said. No damage to Maoists has been reported so far.
