Throwing a spanner in the works for developmental activities in the region, Maoist ultras attacked road construction workers in Jharkhand's Lohardagga District on Saturday.
Ram Gulab Sharma, Sub-Divisional Police Officer, said that the Maoists were trying to extort money from the factory and in that process burnt the bulldozer kept outside.
"Some notorious group came here and burnt the machine. Allegedly, they were trying to extort money and in the process burnt the machine. We are looking into the matter," said Sharma.
One of the eye witnesses said that the Maoists ultras asked for kerosene from her to burn the machine.
"They asked for kerosene oil and I gave them. They were around 18-20 of them," said Pancho Devi. (ANI)

None of the projects in rural area of bihar& jharkhand could take off without paying local goons of naxalities. Infact the construction companies r fanancial fueling station of naxalism. The governments have failed to secure the fundamental rights of life& property
what is the difference between maoists and Goon? the later just extort money as a criminal and a maoist extort money by saying that he is doing this for poor. however the same money is meant for the development of poor.
