Raipur, Dec, 13 (ANI): Three policemen were killed and one seriously injured in a Naxal attack on a police station in Bisrampuri in Chhattisgarh's Bastar District.

"An assistance sub-inspector and two head constables were killed on the spot, while another constable was seriously injured, officials said.

"Over 50 armed Naxalites came in four vehicles on Wednesday night and opened indiscriminate fire, and then triggered multiple landmine blasts," they added.

According to sources, the police station had 15 security personnel without weapons or ammunitions.

Ironically, Chhattisgarh's Director General of Police, Vishwaranjan, was present in Bastar District at the time of the attack.
