Chhattisgarh police chief DM Awasthi told NDTV that Dantewada lawmaker Bhima Mandavi was repeatedly warned against travelling on the road as it was not sanitised. "The police called him up and made two attempts to convince him. He did not listen and said that he knew the area," the police chief said on the Maoist attack that killed Bhima Mandavi and four policemen.
