23rd October, 2008 - Ranchi bandh turns violent

People’s Liberation Front of India (PLFI),an extremist organisation, gave the bandh call to protest the killing of its district commander Sikandar Yadav in an encounter at Hazaribagh last week. The bandh had major impact on Murhu of Khunti district, around 40km from here. PLFI activists fired in the air this morning to terrorise public and set ablaze three trucks. A tanker driver died in the melee.
