The body of the unidentified man was found this morning. He had been assaulted before being shot dead at Jhargram town in West Midnapore district in West Bengal. Police sources said that posters left beside the body by Maoists said that the man was affiliated to the CPI(M) and was a police informer. In neighbouring Bihar, Maoists triggered a blast on railway tracks damaging it partially near Chausima village on the Muzaffarpur-Samastipur section of the East Central Railway in Muzaffarpur district in the early morning. The tracks were repaired and traffic on the section restored. A carbine and five round of ammunition were found beside the tracks.

The bandh was called in West Bengal, Bihar, Orissa, Jharkhand, Chattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh, besides Gadchiroli, Bhandara and Chadrapur districts of Maharashtra and Balaghat district of Madhya Pradesh by top Maoist leader Kishenji.
