The Maoists, said to 18 in number, surrounded the brick kiln last night and set the tractor on fire.

They left a pamphlet demanding a monthly levy of Rs 25,000 from its owner Anuj Rai, the sources said.

A case has been registered in this connection and raids were being carried out to arrest the Maoists.
