Mother! I love you. It is possible I will die in this attack," Doordarshan cameraman M M Sharma said on his mobile phone as Maoists ambushed a team of policemen and Doordarshan journalists. But he had a miraculous escape.

The assistant cameraman was with two other colleagues and a police patrol team when they were attacked by Maoists in Chhattisgarh's Dantewada district.
