Patna/Ranchi, October 13: Maoists continued to unleash violence on the second day of their two-day shutdown, setting ablaze a rail office in Bihar’s Lakhisarai district after briefly taking six officials hostage, blowing up block offices and telecom towers besides bombing a school in neighbouring Jharkhand.
In a midnight attack, around 150 ultras stormed Banshipur railway station in the important Patna-Kiul-Jhajha section under the Danapur division of the East Central Railway and torched a railway panel room besides destroying the traffic control system, railway officials said.
