Hundreds of Maoists on Sunday evening attacked a Government Railway Police Force (GRPF) outpost at Jhajha in Jamui district of Bihar. 

According to Kamai Superintendent of Police Vinay Kumar, six people were killed by the Maoists. Among those killed were five policemen - two SAP jawans, two GRP cops and one sub-inspector of GRP. One porter at the railway station was also killed in the exchange of fire.

The Maoists fled after looting arms and ammunition from the police outpost.

The SP said it is yet to be confirmed how many arms and ammunition have been looted. The identity of the porter is also yet to be verified, he added.

He said there was no casualty from the Maoists' side. A massive combing operation is going on, according to the SP.

Jamai along with bordering districts like Lakhasarai and Munger are considered Maoist strongholds. It is a hilly terrain that gives safe passage to Maoists.

It is after three years that Maoists have made a major attack on the police in the State.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
