"The CRPF personnel were returning to their place when the Maoists opened fire. The jawans also retaliated in the ensuing brief encounter," Superintendent of Police Michael S Raj told PTI.
Polling for the Assembly was held in Lathehar yesterday in the first phase along with other Maoist-hit areas.
Raj said the polling personnel were airlifted and were not with the CRPF battalion.
