SITAMARHI: In a raid with their trademark surprise element, more than 100 Maoists descended on Rega township in Sitamarhi district along Bihar-Nepal border and opened fire a little past 7 pm on Saturday. The number of casualties, if any, could not be ascertained immediately. Muzaffarpur DIG Gupteshwar Pandey, Sitamarhi DM Suman Kumar and SP M R Naik had rushed to the spot with reinforcements. While no official version of the incident was available, unconfirmed reports suggested that the Maoists had come from Nepal. Rega is barely 15 km from the porous border between the two nations. Report reaching Patna said the Maoists also looted a bank and laid a virtual siege to the Rega police station during the operation.
