Raipur: Some unidentified persons abducted
an Army jawan from a Naxal-infested village in restive
Dantewada district of Chhattisgarh this morning.
The jawan had been identified as Vivek Singh, a native
of Kukanaar in Dantewada district. He was posted in the
security wing of the Defence Research and Development
Organisation (DRDO) at Bastar.
A senior police official said the jawan was playing
cricket along with a few people in Naxal-infested Tendulnaar
village under Kukanaar police station in Dantewada district
when some unidentified persons struck and took him away into
the forests.
Since the report had not been lodged with the police,
the officials refused to say anything on record even as they
were waiting for other details related to the incident.
"The possibility of Naxalites' involvement in the
incident could not be ruled out," the police official said.
