RAIPUR: A village in insurgency-hit Dantewada district of Bastar was left shell-shocked when some boys were found playing with what looked like mortar rockets. Police and bomb disposal specialists scrambled to the hamlet and destroyed the four shells.
Dantewada SP Siddharth Tiwari said that they were signal shells, meant for illumination, and "were not live". He has ordered an inquiry to find out how the shells ended up in the village.
