5 cops among 6 killed in Bihar landmine blast

Five Bihar Military Police jawans were among six killed in a landmine blast set off by banned Maoist Communist Centre (MCC) extremists at Koiribigha village in Bihar's extremist-hit Gaya district on Wednesday night, police sources said.

The victims were identified as Assistant Sub-Inspector S K Trivedi, Havildar Pyare Mahato, constables Ramashes Yadav, Unni Dixit, Manoj Kumar, the sources told PTI.

Jeep driver Pramod was also killed in the blast, they said.

Two injured persons were taken to the Gaya Medical College hospital where their condition was stated to be extremely critical, the sources said.

Senior district officials have rushed to the spot and combing operations have been launched.

The police headquarters in Gaya has directed authorities of neighbouring Aurangabad, Jehanabad and Bhojpur districts to coordinate with the Gaya police in tracing the ultras.
