Gadchiroli (Maharashtra), April 11 (IANS) At least one security personnel was killed and three others were injured when Maoists attacked a team of election officials near Damrancha outpost in Gadchiroli district Friday, officials said.
The Maoists made the strike when a police escort was accompanying an election officials' team after it completed the Lok Sabha polling Thursday in the area and was returning with the election materials to the district headquarters town.
"We have received information of at least one security personnel being killed and at least three security personnel were injured in the firing by the Maoists," said an official from Gadchiroli.

After firing a few rounds of bullets, the Maoists retreated into the thick forest.
