A suspected drone was spotted near a CRPF camp in the Maoist insurgency-hit Sukma district, police said here on Saturday.
“A suspected drone was spotted in Puswada camp of CRPF on Friday late night. After seeing the drone CRPF personnel also scrambled their drones but the suspected drone flew away,” Superintendent of Police (SP) Sukma Shalabh Sinha said while adding forces were conducting inquiry in villages around to find out the reality behind the drone flight.
According to Sinha it is yet to be confirmed whether it was a drone or some kind of flying toy.
Notably, this is for the second time when a drone was reportedly being used by Maoists to monitor troop positions in paramilitary camp.
It may be mentioned that a similar drone was spotted in Kistaram few days back.
