NEW DELHI - Bodies of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) troopers, killed in a Maoist ambush Tuesday, were brought to the national capital Wednesday evening.

An Indian Air Force transport aircraft, carrying the bodies, landed at Delhi’s Palam air station at 5.15 p.m. Although there was no immediate confirmation of the number of bodies brought in the aircraft, sources said it could be 25.

At least 75 CRPF soldiers and a Chhattisgarh policeman were massacred by left wing rebels in the dense forests of Dantewada Tuesday. The attack is the deadliest by the Maoists in the four-decade-old insurgency.
