The Maoists struck at the Bhejji Police Station in the district this morning and opened indiscriminate fire, drawing retaliation from the police personnel.
A jawan and state police force constable, who were on duty at the time of the incident, were killed in the attack after a brief exchange of fire with the Maoists, police officials said.
Both the policemen were readying for a patrol in the area when the Naxal group targeted the police station, they said.
Search operations have been launched in the area by a police team to nab the rebels and plug all possible escape routes of Naxalites, who may also have suffered casualties in the attack, police officials said.
