The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has tendered a public apology for casualty of seven persons of a polling party at Bijapur on April 12, saying its Peoples' Liberation Guerilla Army (PLGA) fighters mistook those travelling in the bus as Security Forces, reports The Times of India. In the statement, Maoist spokesman Gudsa Usendi said PLGA cadres attacked the bus suspecting that security personnel were travelling. It's a mistake on our part but it shouldn't be seen as violation of human rights. Hence, we tender a public apology for civilian loss of lives. The Maoist spokesperson appealed civilians to not board Police vehicles or travel with them in the same vehicle, nor should they lend lift to Police or Security personnel for any purpose.
