Abstract
This case study is premised around the scene of land mine explosion triggered by the Maoists in the Narayanpur, Chhattisgarh state on 24.03.2021 in which 05 Police personnel were killed and 13 were critically injured. The explosion site was inspected by the team of Forensic Scientists from Regional Forensic Science Laboratory, Jagdalpur, Chhattisgarh. The Forensic team carried out a thorough inspection and instructed the Investigation officer to collect the physical evidence and directed him to send these samples to Regional Forensic Science Laboratory, Jagdalpur, Chhattisgarh for chemical analysis. The Physical evidence related to this case were examined by standard methods. This study highlights the rapid improvisation in the blasting techniques by Maoists and importance of training of concerned security personnel for precise sample collection and identification of explosive materials.
