Hyderabad: A group of Maoists set fire to a TSRTC bus on March 5 night while it was on its way to Hyderabad from Jadgalpur.
The incident occurred around 9.30 pm near Kudthi village in Summa district of Chhattisgarh.
One person was reportedly killed in the incident.
A group of Maoists stopped the bus and forced all its occupants including the two drivers to disembark before setting the bus on fire.
They also reportedly torched two lorries and a private bus.
The incidents are reportedly in retaliation of the encounter between the Greyhounds police force and Maoists in which 10 Maoists were killed. Also dead in the exchange of fire was a Greyhounds constable.
That incident occurred on the Telangana-Chhattisgarh border area near Cherla of Khammam district in Telangana.
