PTI, RAIPUR: A jawan of Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBRA) of the CRPF was seriously injured when a bomb planted by Naxals went off in Chhattisgarh’s insurgency-hit Sukma district today, police said. The incident took place this afternoon when a joint team of the 208th battalion CoBRA, elite unit of the Central Reserve Police Force, and the district police force was out on `area domination operation’ under the limits of Kistaram police station area, a senior police official told PTI.
While the team was cordoning off a forested patch near Kasaram village, around 2 km away from the police station, a jawan stepped on a pressure-operated improvised explosive device (IED), triggering the blast and getting injured.
