New Delhi: A day after the Naxal attack in Chhattisgarh's Dantewada, which left ten police personnel and one civilian dead, a purported video capturing the moment after Maoists blew up their vehicle using an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) surfaced on social media.

The entire portion of the road was blown off by the impact of the IED.

In the video, a voice can be heard amid the gunfire stating, "ud gaya, pura ud gaya," translating to "the whole vehicle has blown up." A person can also be seen crawling to the side of the road right after the blast.

10 Cops Killed In Maoist Attack

At least ten jawans and a civilian were killed in an IED explosion carried out by Naxals in Chhattisgarh's Dantewada on Wednesday. A District Reserve Guard (DRG) team was returning to their headquarters in a vehicle when an IED planted on the Aranpur road exploded.

This was the biggest strike by the Maoists on the security forces in the state in the last two years.

The blast occurred between 1 pm and 1:30 pm in the Aranpur police station area, when a team of the state police's District Reserve Guard (DRG) was out on an anti-Naxal operation, according to Inspector General of Police (Bastar Range) Sundarraj P. The blast occurred approximately 450 kilometres from the state capital of Raipur.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi strongly condemned the Naxal attack on Chhattisgarh police officers and paid tribute to those killed in the incident. 

"Strongly condemn the attack on the Chhattisgarh police in Dantewada. I pay my tributes to the brave personnel we lost in the attack. Their sacrifice will always be remembered. My condolences to the bereaved families," the prime minister said on Twitter.

Expressing grief over the loss of life, Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel said the fight against Naxalism was in its last phase, and the Naxals will not be spared under any circumstances.

He also held a high-level meeting on Wednesday evening to review the situation after the Naxal attack.
