Patna, (Bihar Times): Exactly 17 years after the massacre of 35 Bhumihars in Bara village of Gaya district three Maoists were on Wednesday sentenced to death while three others got acquittal. The Maoists slaughtered the Bhumihars on February 12, 1992.
The District and Sessions Judge, Gaya, Daroga Prasad, designated the special TADA judge, pronounced Vyas Kahar, Naresh Paswan and Yugal Mochi of the Maoist Communist Centre (MCC), now called as the CPI (Maoist) guilty of involvement in the carnage and awarded them the death penalty.
The court acquitted Tyagi Mahto, Vijay Yadav and Madhusudan Sharma citing, saying the prosecution had failed to establish charges beyond reasonable doubt.
The MCC’s armed group brought the 35 men of Bara village to the bank of a nearby canal, tied their hands and slit their throats.
It needs to be recalled that four Maoists got death sentenced while eight others were sentenced to life term while one acquitted in the same case in 2001.

I would like to thank the Nitish regime to bring guilty to justice irrespective of their caste or creed.His regime is such a welcome change.I would not have imagined these massacre cases would be solved.
I sincerely hope that Bihar under Sri Nitish leadership develops so much that pressure on land for sustenance decreases and the social tension behind such hienous crime decrease .Then we can hope to see a day when folks would be competing to create bigger and bigger business and would not be killing each other.We can then create a society where respect would come based on your deed and not your caste or whom you know or how much muscle power you have or how much money you can earn through corrupt means.
Thanks to Sri Nitish Kumar,I am feeling proud to be called a Bihari these days.
