Suspected Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres blew up a newly constructed community hall in Gaya District of Bihar late on November 15 night, reports Hindustan Times. Police said an armed squad of the CPI-Maoist stormed into Bodhi-Bigha village in Dumaria Police Station limits in Gaya District and planted dynamites that blew up the building. According to the villagers, the community hall, built with then Janata Dal-United (JD-U) Member of Legislative Council (MLC) Anuj Kumar’s fund at a cost of INR 2 million, had been on Maoists’ radar for a while. On March 27, 2019, Maoists had also blown up Singh’s house in Dumaria after he allegedly failed to return their INR 20 million given in demonetised notes to exchange. Police sources said there were pamphlets at the site demanding INR 20 million from Singh, purportedly from Maoists. The pamphlets claimed that Singh was a ‘police informer’ who harassed common people and had repeatedly been warned. “Our fight is against elements like Anuj Singh who get huge [amounts of] money from Maoists leaders on the pretext of giving contracts,” the pamphlet read.
