IN A sensational disclosure Bihar Police said on Saturday that the massacre carried out by Maoists in a village in Jamui was carried out by young children, enrolled in the Naxal ranks. Twelve people were killed and several others were injured when a group of Naxals attacked the village on Wednesday night.

Bihar police claims that there were at least 50 children in the Naxal gang comprising 200 members, which carried out the rampage. This attack is being seen as a retaliatory attack by the ultras after 8 of their comrades were killed in the same village a fortnight earlier.

Senior police officials admitted that this attack was carried out to take revenge and put pressure on the security forces to lessen the pressure. This is one of the biggest naxal attacks in Bihar in last couple of years. Large parts of the state are affected by the Maoists, who have declared a war against the state.
