Bhubaneswar: Maoists blew up a police van killing three cops and seriously injuring three others in Orissa’s Kandhamal district on Thursday morning, the second day of two-day bandh called by the banned outfit. Two days ago, a Maoist was killed in the same place while planting a land mine.
The cops were travelling in two vehicles along with two dogs to the spot where the body of the Maoist cadre was found at Srirampur in Kotagada. The injured policemen — two constables and a home guard — were rushed to the Kotagada hospital and then shifted to Baliguda. They were later taken to Cuttack’s SCB Medical College and Hospital. Their condition is “critical”, said hospital sources. “They have multiple injuries,” said a doctor.
The blast took place around 10.30 am. The policemen who were killed in the blast included Sunasir Mohanty, Uma Jani and Sangram Lenka.
