Maoists blast newly-built police station in Bihar | The Maoists blew up a newly built police station at Bhelbi in Bihar's Saran district. Sources said over 50 armed Maoists surrounded the building at
around 11: 45 p.m. on Wednesday night and fired indiscriminately before triggering
a dynamite blast. The Bhelbi police station was to shift in the newly constructed
building. No casualty was, however, reported in the incident. The Maoists left
behind a note asking the State Government to halt Operation Green Hunt and set
free its top leaders lodged in various jails. There are reports that the local
police are conducting raids in order to apprehend the rebels. The Maoists had
earlier shot dead a private security guard, a truck driver and looted weapons
from a government toll collection point at Bihar's Mahapur village in Gaya district.
On Monday and Tuesday, the Maoists had called for a 48-hour shutdown in Bihar,
Jharkhand, Orissa, West Bengal, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh and three districts
of Maharashtra protesting against the Central Government's operation to deal with
Maoists menace. |
