Raipur: A senior officer was suspended for not taking standard security measures, after a jawan of the Chhattisgarh Armed Force was killed by Naxals in the state's insurgency-hit Sukma district today.
Constable Shivkumar Sidar was abducted by Naxals on his way to hospital and killed earlier today. Company Commander Vinod Thapa was suspended for failing to take standard security measures while sending Sidar to Dornapal for medical treatment from Temelwada camp, said Inspector General of Police, SRP Kalluri.
Sidar was sick for the last few days. While he was on his way to Dornpal today, Naxals abducted him from a private bus and killed him.
He was travelling without any security personnel accompanying him, unarmed, and dressed in civilian clothes. The Naxals stopped the bus between Temelwada and Kusawada and asked him to get down. He was taken a little away and killed, Kalluri said.
His body was later retrieved by the security personnel and a combing operation was launched in the area to nab the Naxals.
