A bomb attack in central India has killed five people, including a local politician from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party.
Bhima Mandavi was a state legislator from the Chhattisgarh state legislative assembly and was returning from an election rally when he and his security personnel were attacked in the Dantewada district of the central Indian state of Chhattisgarh.
Police say it is suspected the attack was made by Maoist rebels.
The security personnel accompanying the politician make up the other four who died, assistant superintendent of police says Chandramohan Singh.
"There were three vehicles in the convoy. It was an IED attack followed by an ambush," Singh added.
