The ASI breathed his last on February 2, they said. According to officials, ASI Girish Babu belonged to Killi village in Uttar Pradesh's Etawah district. On February 1, he was injured in a landmine blast triggered by Naxals in Dantewada district of Chhattisgarh.

He was airlifted to Delhi and brought to AIIMS as he needed enhanced medical care. After receiving information about the ASI's demise, the district administration and Etawah Police administrative officers visited his house in Killi village.

"Girish Babu had recently shifted from Jammu and Kashmir to Chhattisgarh's Dantewada. He sustained injuries in the explosion and succumbed on February 2," Etawah SSP Sanjay Kumar Verma told ANI.
