Maoists killed a policeman in Jharkhand and triggered two explosions in Orissa early on Tuesday just hours after they targeted a Rajdhani express blasting the rail tracks in Bihar in which the passengers had a miraculous escape after ten coaches derailed.

As their 48-hour bandh entered the second day on Tuesday, the Maoists stepped up violence leading to disruption of rail services and cancellation of several trains. There was no casualty or injury in the incident involving the Bhubaneswar-New Delhi Rajdhani Express late last night.
