Dantewada (Chhattisgarh), April 27 (ANI): A day after a Naxal attack claimed lives of 10 jawans and one driver in Chhattisgarh’s Dantewada, Yuvraj Singh, who witnessed the horrific incident, narrated the sequence of events. Expressing condolences to the bereaved families, he narrated, “Three vehicles set out that day. Since a wood got stuck in the wheel, I slowed down and the vehicle overtook. I had just passed my vehicle and the incident took place in front of my eyes. There were several rounds of firing from the Naxal side. Jawans fired too in defence. The 'Ama Pandum' festival was also being celebrated and no one was seen after the festival. I think they got the hint that the vehicle would return with jawans filled in and have carried out their operation accordingly.”
