Fresh Threat Averted in Sukma: Another IED Found Near Blast Site That Killed ASP Akash Rao
Sukma, Chhattisgarh – In a stark reminder of the constant dangers in India’s red corridor, security forces today recovered a second IED from the same location where ASP Akash Rao Giripunje lost his life in a devastating blast just hours earlier.
The timely intervention by the Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS) ensured that the newly discovered explosive device was safely defused on-site, preventing yet another potential tragedy.
Sources within the security apparatus believe the second IED was planted to target follow-up teams, a tactic commonly used by naxal extremists to inflict maximum damage and chaos. The discovery has led to heightened alert and intensified combing operations across the region.
🕯️ Tributes Continue to Pour In
The nation is still reeling from the loss of Additional Superintendent of Police Akash Rao Giripunje, a dedicated officer known for his courage and integrity. Candlelight vigils, tributes, and social media posts honoring his service are emerging from across the country.
🚨 Red Zone Still Under Threat
