Naxalites[Left Wing Extremists, LWEs] of Jharkhand Jana Mukti Parishad (JJMP), a splinter group of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) set ablaze 16 vehicles at a railway siding and also assaulted six labourers in Latehar District of Jharkhand on July 12, reports India TV. The JJMP cadres first attacked the Tori railway siding and came down heavily on the labourers sleeping at the spot. After snatching away their mobile phones, the LWEs set the 16 parked vehicles at the siding on fire. There were around 15 of the JJMP cadres who took to indiscriminate firing, though no one was reported injured in it. The denial of ‘levy’ (extortion amount) from the area is said to be the reason for the attack as coal transportation is done from the Tori siding. Following the attack coal transportation has been stopped from Tori and additional forces deployed.
