Maoists today torched three vehicles on NH-100 between Tatia Jharia and Bishnugarh in Hazaribagh district.
About 60 rebels surrounded a bus after midnight, asked the passengers to get down and set it ablaze using kerosene, Superintendent of Police Akhilesh Kumar Jha said here.
Later, they intercepted a truck loaded with optical fibres of a mobile company and torched it, he said.
The Maoists did not harm 13 labourers who were travelling by the truck and asked them to get down before torching the vehicle, the police said.
Around 3 am, the Maoists burnt a coal-laden truck on the same route.
The banned CPI (Maoist) has given call for a Jharkhand-Bihar bandh reportedly to protest the recent encounter with police in Gaya district in Bihar.
