Pakur (Jharkhand), Jul 4: Just before being gunned down by Maoists along with five other policemen in Dumka district yesterday, Pakur SP Amarjit Balihar had called for reinforcements from the nearest police station.




"The SP phoned me to rush with additional forces. After informing the sub-divisional police officer and the state police headquarters, we rushed to the spot yesterday," Ranjit Minz, in-charge of Amarapara police station in Pakur district, told reporters here.
