A CRPF constable was injured on Thursday after an improvised explosive device (IED) went off during an anti-Maoist operation in a forest of Jharkhand’s West Singhbhum district, police said.

The IED, planted by banned CPI (Maoists), exploded in the forest near Hesabandh village in Muffasil when a team of security personnel from CRPF, Cobra, Jharkhand Jaguar and district armed police was carrying out the operation against the red rebels, a statement by police said.

The condition of the constable was stated to be stable, it said, adding that the combing operation in Maosist-affected areas was still on.
