Kadaba: Naxal group suspected to have visited Bilinele on Thursday
ANF team begins combing of region
Kadaba: The local police and the Anti Naxal Force (ANF) combed the region for Naxals as rumours were adrift on Saturday that a group of people suspected to be Naxals had dinner and purchased grocery at a store in Cheru of Bilinele village on Thursday.
The group consisting of four to six people allegedly visited a local resident at around 7 pm and, after having dinner at the local's house, completed their purchase of grocery by 9 pm and left for their hideout.
The locals found it suspicious that the group members who paid a visit to Cheru on Thursday were armed and informed the government authorities of the incident. An inspection was conducted in the area by the local police as well as the Anti Naxal Force (ANF). The region surrounding the house that the suspected Naxals reportedly visited on Thursday as well as the nearby forest region was combed by the ANF team as Naxals are also suspected to have returned to their hideout in the forest after visiting Cheru.

In a similar incident about 10 years ago, Naxals were sighted in the regions near Cheru and Manibanda leading to a round of combing by the ANF team and a suspected Naxal being killed in a shootout during the probe.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
