Ranchi, Mar 23 A policeman was today gunned down by Maoists in Jharkhand's Sareikela-Kharsawan district as their 48-hour shutdown entered the second day.
The rebels fired indiscriminately on a police patrolling team near Chouka police station in Sareikela around 1.30 am, killing a policeman on the spot, police said here.
The policeman was identified as Kalicharan Bodra.
The Maoists melted away into the forests after a strong retaliatory action by securitymen, police said.
Security forces have launched raids in the area even as deployment of forces are in place at strategic locations to keep a strict vigil during the shutdown that ends tonight.
The bandh has so far caused cancellation of many trains, including the Ranchi-Delhi Garib Rath, Palamau Express, besides passenger trains for the second consecutive day, railway officials said.
Several express trains have been diverted through the Mugalsarai-Gomo route, they said.
