The Maoists had earlier set a new deadline which was due to expire on 10 am on Friday. So far, seven policemen have been executed and four others abducted in the attack that was carried out in Lakhisarai on August 29.
AS THE deadline set by Maoists expired on Friday, they killed one of the four abducted officers. The deceased has been identified as Hawaldar Lukas Tete.
