Rayagada, Apr 8: Last night 12 weaponized Maoists torched a liquor shop that was running by the State government at Raghubari village under Ambadala police limits here. The Maoists also torched a bike that had been parked inside the premises of the shop and also thrashed three of the staff members. Some posters were also left behind by the ultras at the torched area that stated that opposition messages against the Operation Green Hunt and called for a ‘liquor-free Odisha’.
