Armed Maoists blasted railway track near Nadaul station in Bihar's Jehanabad district in the wee hours on Monday, disrupting rail traffic for several hours, police said.

Raids were on in the area to apprehend the Maoists, who left a pamphlet on the spot demanding immediate production of their leader Divendu Kumar Singh alias Subodh alias Anand before a court, police said. Subodh was arrested by the special task force of Bihar police in Jehanabad on January 15.
