Gaya, Dec 14 (ANI): A group of Maoists have destroyed a school by razing it down to the ground in Gaya District of Bihar.

Residents say around 100 armed rebels stormed into Barachatti village with a bulldozer and demolished the building.

Police and paramilitary personnel were called out to the site after residents informed them of the incident.

According to Satyendra Kumar Mishra, officer in-charge at Barachatti police station, Communist Party of India-Maoists carried out the attack.
