Bihar News :

IN A swift retribution, Maoist rebels handed out vigilante justice to three villagers in Jharkhand. The rebels abducted and killed three villagers in Tamar block in Jharkhand even as more of their cadres were blowing up railway tracks and a sub-divisional officer's (SDO's) office in contiguous Bihar during a 24-hour bandh it had called to protest against the arrest of five of its members.

In Jharkhand, the three villagers were killed for allegedly extorting money by posing as Maoists from villagers. Reports suggest that on Sunday night, the rebels kidnapped the three villagers from Parasi village in Tamar block. The bodies of the three villagers were found today from a forest tract in Tamar block. Leaflets found near the bodies sounded a grim warning that anyone found extorting money in the name of Maoists would meet a similar fate.

Earlier in the day, in neighbouring Bihar, Maoists blew up a portion of railway tracks in Jamui district disrupting train services, triggered an explosion in the office of a sub-divisional officer and looted a godown of the Food Corporation of India in Munger district and made off with sacks of food grains.
