Raipur:
The security forces that were ambushed by Maoist guerrillas in Chhattisgarh on Saturday were acting on what is now being viewed as faulty intelligence. They had received inputs about the presence of two of their top leaders Madvi Hidma, the People s Liberation Guerrilla Army s (PLGA) battalion number 1 commander, and Sujatha, an associate in the Jagargunda-Jonaguda-Tarrem belt. It turned out to be a trap, sources now say.
In a major Maoist attack this year, at least 22 security personnel were killed and 20 more injured in a fierce gun battle with a platoon of over 300 People s Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) in Chhattisgarh s Bijapur, officials said.
