Maoists blow Railway Tracks, Kill Three People

Maoists rebels went on rampage in Bihar and Jharkhan during a 24-hour strike. They blasted a railway station and two rail tracks. They also set several trucks on fire and killed at least three people in separate incidents. The bandh was called to protest the recent arrests of their top leaders Tushar Kant Bhattacharya and Brajmohan Ram from Bihar and Misir Besra from Jharkhand.

The Railway authorities suspended passenger and goods trains in some sections of Bihar and Jharkhand as a precautionary measure. Long-distance buses have also been suspended till tomorrow.
