Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres on October 17 detonated a cane bomb - a trademark Improvised Explosive Device (IED) used by them - to blow up a vehicle, killing all its seven occupants near Pathara village in Aurangabad District, reports The Times of India. The victims included Sushil Pandey, suspected Ranvir Sena (Militia of upper caste landowners) activist and husband of Zilla Parishad (district level local self-Government institution) member Usha Devi. The Maoists targeted the vehicle when Pandey was on way to his village Pisai. The Maoists suspected Pandey's hand in the killing of their cadres in the Magadh region (Bihar) by the Sena. The attack comes barely a week after the Patna High Court (HC) acquitted all the accused in the Laxmanpur Bathe (Arwal District) massacre case for lack of evidence. Maoists hold Ranvir Sena responsible for the Laxmanpur Bathe massacre that claimed the lives of 58 dalits on the night of December 1, 1997. State Principal Secretary, Home Affairs, Amir Subhani said as per initial reports, six persons including Pandey, were killed in the incident.
