Raipur, May 17 (IBNS) : In what looks like a retaliation of the Sukma massacre, the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has claimed to have gunned down

 Around 15 Maoists in an operation in Bastar's Dantewada in Chhattisgarh.

While Hindustan Times reported that CRPF at least 15 Maoist rebels were killed, The Times of India put the number between 10 to 15.

"Our forces, who went deep into the forests to carry out the operations, saw Maoists falling down after being hit by bullets. However, neither bodies nor weapons could be recovered during these operations," a senior officer of the Chhattisgarh police told TOI on Tuesday night.

The operation was carried out in Bijapur's Basakura area by a joint team of CRPF, CoBRA, Special Task Force and District Reserve Group, according to a CRPF officer.

The operations were conducted between  May 12 and 16 May and it is said that some of those killed  could have been part of the 24 April ambush which killed 25 CRPF jawans in Sukma.
