Maoists kill policeman in Jharkhand | The Maoists on Tuesday morning gunned down a policeman in Jharkhand's Sareikela-Kharsawan during their two-day shutdown call, which began on Monday.
The policeman identified as Kalicharan Bodra was killed, when the rebels fired
indiscriminately on a police patrolling team near Chouka police station around
1: 30 a.m. The Maoists later hid into the forests after the police personnel launched
a counter attack. The security forces have launched an extensive search operation
and are keeping a strong vigil at strategic locations. Meanwhile, the Maoists
attacked railway tracks in four states of West Bengal, Orissa, Bihar and Jharkhand
during the second day of their two-day shutdown call. At least three trains have
been cancelled and over 17 diverted to avoid further attacks. The Maoists are
observing the shutdown across the six states of West Bengal, Bihar , Jharkhand,
Chhatisgarh, Orissa and Andhra Pradesh in protest against the Union Budget, which
the rebels claim is anti-poor and prepared under the dictates of the World Bank. |
