Jamshedpur: A hard-core Maoist
involved in the blowing up of tracks causing a train to derail
leading to the death of two passengers last November, was
arrested in Jharkhand`s West Singhbhum district.
Marshal Topno, one of those involved in blowing up
of rail tracks resulting in derailment of several compartments
of the 322 up Tata-Bilaspur passenger on November 19 was
arrested during a combing operation in Maoist-hit Posaita area
in West Singhbhum district, Superintendent of Police, Akhilesh

to flush out extremists and was continuing since he took
