Action and war films from Hollywood,the entertainment mecca of 'capitalist' USA, are being used as a training tool by Naxals, a senior police official has said.
Recently, a CRPF jawan's body was found with an explosive device surgically implanted inside. Authorities said that this tactic was straight out of the Oscar-winning war film 'Hurt Locker' (2008).
Chhattisgarh police recently recovered CD players and CDs of Hollywood movies from a Naxal training camp in Bijapur district. These were action films, depicting commando training, bomb making process and warfare strategies.
"The forces recovered 8 CDs of Hollywood movies when they busted a Naxal training camp in forests of Pidiya village," said RK Vij, Additional Director General of Police, Naxal Operations, told PTI.
