Maoists on Wednesday late night opened fire on five separate CRPF camps in quick succession in Dantewada district of Chhattisgarh, triggering gunbattles, but there was no immediate report of casualties.
In a major breakthrough, the Chhattisgarh police arrested six Naxals including an alleged deputy commander who were involved in blowing up a bus recently in which 32 people were killed.
The face-off between a compact team of District Reserve Group and ultras took place in the forested hills of Metapal village, Dantewada Superintendent of Police Kamlochan Kashyap told PTI.
