Suspected Maoists set fire to four trucks carrying red chillies, tomatoes and electronic items from Andhra Pradesh, at Bundu, 45 km from Ranchi, in Jharkhand on Tuesday, the second day of a bandh called by them to protest the arrest of two of their senior members. The protest has since been called off.

Maoists opened fire at a make shift CRPF camp at Bundu in Jharkhand, leaving a villager dead and a jawan injured, police said on Wednesday.

Armed Maoists attacked the camp located in a school, about 50 km from here, around 11 pm on Wednesday, Deputy Inspector General of Police, R.K. Mullick, said.

"While a CRPF jawan was injured in the firing, a villager was killed in the cross fire. The jawan is out of danger," Mr. Mullick said.

The school was being used by the CRPF as a temporary camp to face the Maoist challenge in Ranchi district during their bandh, Mr. Mullick said. The Maoists fled the spot after a strong retaliatory action.
