Raipur:
A CRPF trooper shot dead four fellow personnel and injured another
at a camp in Chhattisgarh's Maoist-infested Dantewada district,
police said Tuesday.
The incident occurred around 1 a.m. at a Central Reserve Police
Force (CRPF) camp of 111 battalion at Aranpur village, around 60
km from Dantewada town and 440 km from Raipur.
The trooper, Deep Kumar Tiwari, was mentally disturbed for quite
some time and he opened fire on five of his colleagues without any
reason, district superintendent of police Narendra Khare told IANS
on the phone. Tiwari has been arrested, he said.
Three of the paramilitary troopers, who were shot at, died on the
spot while the fourth succumbed to injuries on the way to the
hospital, Khare said.
A fifth trooper is in a critical condition and has been referred
to a government hospital in Jagdalpur, headquarters of the Bastar
region, he said.
The four CRPF personnel who were killed were identified as Chandan
Singh, Ramesh, Purshottam and Aniruddha Singh.
Aranpur lies in a thickly forested area and comes under the Maoist
insurgency-hit zone in the state.
