Six vehicles, including three trucks carrying food grains, were torched by Maoists in the Naxal-affected Palamu district in Jharkhand on Thursday. Around 40 Maoists armed with firearms intercepted the vehicles, asked the drivers, cleaners and passengers to get off before setting the vehicles ablaze. The incident occurred on the Medininagar-Aurangabad road, said superintendent of police Anup T Mathew.
