Maoists torch 2 tractors, earth mover in East Champaran

Maoists torched three vehicles of a private road construction company in a village in Bihar's East Champaran district, police sources said on Sunday.

A group of armed Maoists raided Phulwar village last night and ransacked the camp office of a construction firm before torching two tractors and an earthmover parked there, the sources said.

The Maoists allegedly carried out the arson over non-payment of levy to them, they said.

A case has been registered and raids were on to net those involved, the sources said.
