"There was a delay in additional reinforcements getting to the spot despite timely sending alert on tracker device minutes after ambush", injured STF constables undergoing treatment at the hospital in Jagdalpur said.
Talking to TOI, STF's Arvind Sharma, who hail from Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh who has sustained bullet injuries in both his legs alleged, "As we we realized that the team has been ambushed, I had pressed the button on tracker device which works like an alarm button indicating that firing has begun and force has been ambushed. It alerts directly at police headquarters and STF basecamp at Baghera in Durg district."
Arvind, who was the one holding tracker instrument, said that the tracker not only alerts but also gives proper location where the incident is taking place.
"While the firing continued till 3.30 pm from all sides, we didn't get an opportunity to send SMS, not even to check where the bullet has hit us. We were in hope that additional forces would rush in but none turned up till end. In fact, the injured jawans had walked continuously to 13 kilometers after sustaining bullet injuries." Arvind said.
Another injured jawan Ranjeet Singh, 22, said that more than 400 Maoists had ambushed us and he failed to understand why such a small team of 49 jawans was sent to an area dominated by the Maoists.
"We carried all other injured jawans till the nearest CRPF camp and had continued to retaliate", he said the rebels followed us.
Bastar superintendent of police Ajay Yadav said that tracker was an equipment that also works offline and alerts the base camp and PHQ about jawans' locations, movement, halt which also helps in cross checking if the team had really gone for search operation.
A police source confirmed that they had received the alert but not any SMS on gun battle between forces and the Maoists. Bastar Inspector General of Police S R P Kalluri could not be reached for his comments about the alleged lack of coordination.
Meanwhile, now there were reports that intelligence agencies had prior inputs about presence of Maoists cadres in the forests of Bastar. However, it is being felt that police lacked strategies for swift action based on these intelligence inputs
