About 10 Maoists took the RPF personnel by surprise by suddenly opening fire from sophisticated weapons at the station, 20 km from here in the Adra division of South Eastern Railway, Divisional Railway Manager Om Prakash Choubey said.
There would have been more casualties had the station been crowded, sources said, adding luckily for the passengers, there was no train in the station when the Maoists struck.
The attackers escaped through the common border with Jharkhand minutes after the operation. The leaflets and hand bills left by them were seized by the police.
Choubey said the injured RPF personnel were admitted to Purulia Sadar hospital, but later the three critically injured were shifted to Bokaro hospital.
