A CRPF jawan was injured on Monday after coming in contact with live wire during a combing operation in Chhattisgarh's Dantewada district, police said.
The incident took place in the jungles of Arbe village under Aranpur police station area when a team of the CRPF's 111th battalion was patrolling in view of a police camp being set up in Potali village, an official said.
Constable Ravi Singh Kushwaha accidentally stepped on the electric wire laid by villagers in the dense forest in a bid to hunt wild boar, and sustained burn injuries, he said.
Kushwaha was shifted to the district hospital in Dantewada, he added.
