CM Vishnu Deo Sai expressed his condolences and directed local authorities to provide the best possible medical care to the injured. He also announced a compensation of Rs 4 lakh for the families of the deceased. The injured have been hospitalized in Ambikapur and Pathalgaon for treatment.
Earlier the case was being investigated by the EOW of Chhattisgarh Police. The CBI took over the case after the state government urged it.
A couple in Chhattisgarh's Gaurela-Pendra-Marwahi district died and their son was injured when their mud house collapsed due to continuous rainfall. An investigation is underway.
According to the Police, no missing complaint was filed by the victim woman's family and nothing seems suspicious in the case. The rescued woman was taken to the hospital and was doing well.
Last month, the Chhattisgarh State Electricity Regulatory Commission (CSERC) announced an average hike of 8.35 per cent in power tariff across all categories of consumers with effect from June 1. The officials argue that the hike is nominal in comparison to inflation in eight years.
The woman Naxalite was wanted in three states— Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh. She carried a bounty of Rs 5 lakh each in Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh and Rs 3 lakh in Madhya Pradesh.
The official said that the kin of each of the deceased will be given an instant relief amount of Rs 25,000 while the remaining compensation will be given after completing necessary formalities.
CM Vishnu Deo Sai's announcement comes after PM Modi slammed the opposition in a veiled attack for spreading misconceptions about the Agnipath scheme while speaking at the Kargil Vijay Diwas function.
The incident took place on Wednesday night in the Tarrem area when a joint team of security personnel was returning after an anti-Naxalite operation in forests on the tri-junction of Bijapur-Sukma-Dantewada districts.
