MCC strikes again in Bihar, kills two

Banned Maoist Communist Centre activists struck for the third time in four days brutally killing two persons near Kaukol police station in Bihar's Nawada district on Friday night.

The police said suspected MCC cadres killed Mundrika Tiwari and Nitya Tiwari by slitting their throats. No arrests have been made, they added.

The MCC on Wednesday gunned down nine people, six of them members of the Ali Sena, a private militia of minorities in south Bihar at Narkopi village, 50 kilometres from Ranchi.

In retaliation, Ali Sena activists kidnapped five persons from the village. The bodies of three of them were recovered on Thursday night from neighbouring Khokro village while another was found alive by the police in a semi-conscious state.

The MCC on Friday abducted two persons near Imamganj in Gaya district and forcibly took them to a hillock where they killed one and released the other after he agreed to pay Rs 50,000.

Official sources said raids were being conducted in various areas of Ranchi, Gaya and Nawada districts to nab the ultras.
