Two killed as Maoists attack toll plaza in Bihar
March 24th, 2010 - 12:35 pm ICT by IANSPatna, March 24 (IANS) Suspected Maoist guerrillas killed two people, including a security guard, and injured several when they attacked a toll plaza on a highway in Bihar’s Gaya district, police said Wednesday.
The incident occurred late Tuesday when armed guerrillas attacked the toll plaza on Grand Trunk road at Mahapur village in Gaya, about 100 km from here. A security guard, who used to be in the army, and a truck driver were killed.
Maoists also set on fire three vehicles after looting arms and ammunition from the security guards of the toll plaza.
The incident was related to the two-day shutdown called by Maoists in six states to oppose a sweeping crackdown on them.
Late Monday night, Maoists had blasted a railway track in Gaya that led to the Bhubaneswar-New Delhi Rajdhani Express train being derailed.
