Daily
India
reports
that
the
villagers
of
Mohanpur
in
the
Begusarai
district
have
taken
up
arms
against
the
Communist
Party
of
India-Maoist
(CPI-Maoist)
cadres,
days
after
a
police
outpost
was
removed
from
the
area
without
prior
notice.
"We
are
trying
to
guard
our
village.
There
was
a
police
outpost
for
about
15
years,
which
was
removed
from
here,
and
its
removal
has
made
us
vulnerable,"
claimed
Arvind
Kumar,
a
villager.
Mohanpur
village,
situated
on
the
border
with
the
Maoist-affected
Jharkhand,
has
received
threats
of
dire
consequences
from
Maoists,
said
villagers.
According
to
villagers,
their
relations
with
the
Maoists
turned
sour
in
1989,
when
they
helped
the
police
to
neutralise
the
Maoists
in
the
area. |
