Scuffle among security personnel battling with red army in Chhattisgarh’s restive Bijapur district took an alarming twist on Saturday evening when a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) jawan opened fire at colleagues and gunned down four personnel.

The victims include two sub inspectors (SIs). One jawan has been critically injured and has been airlifted to Chhattisgarh capital for better medical care.

The incident took place at around 5 pm in the camp of 168th battalion of CRPF deployed in the Basaguda area that is infested with the Naxalite movement. The jawans belonged to the ‘G’ company and were taking on red army.
