Midnapore:
Suspected Maoists have killed four people in west Midnapore district of Bengal.
Police found four bullet-ridden bodies at Jabalpur, near Silda in Midnapore.
This comes as Maoists called for a 24-hour bandh in West Midnapore today to protest against the arrest of one of their woman activists.
Maoist spokesman Akash told PTI from an undisclosed location that "Soma, a cadre from Jhargram, had been arrested three days ago but was not produced before a court".
He alleged that police had been targeting the innocent suspecting them of having links with Maoists and demanded their immediate release. (With PTI inputs)
