Maoist bandh in west Midnapore; 4 killed

Midnapore: Suspected Maoists have killed four people in west Midnapore district of Bengal.

Police found four bullet-ridden bodies at Jabalpur, near Silda in Midnapore.

This comes as Maoists called for a 24-hour bandh in West Midnapore today to protest against the arrest of one of their woman activists.

Maoist spokesman Akash told PTI from an undisclosed location that "Soma, a cadre from Jhargram, had been arrested three days ago but was not produced before a court".

He alleged that police had been targeting the innocent suspecting them of having links with Maoists and demanded their immediate release. (With PTI inputs)
