The 81-member CRPF team along with a head-constable of Chattisgarh police did not leave for its mission on April four at the time--1900 hours—mentioned in the log book.

CRPF company invited trouble by staying put in one single place for an entire day, sources in the know of events before the attack.

The personnel comprising companies of the CRPF's 62nd battalion in fact started moving into jungle areas only at 0500 hours the next day despite instructions not to venture into forests during early morning hours.

Senior personnel in the CRPF team had even summoned some people including the head of the nearby village--Mukram—and asked for large utensils for preparing the meals for the entire group.
