Maoists have torched a house of a top leader of rival organisation, People's Liberation Front of India (PLFI), at Talkasmar village in Palamau district, the police said today.
Over 20 rebels of the CPI (Maoist) went to the house of PLFI's self-styled zonal commander Baijnath Yadav at midnight last night and asked his family members to vacate it before setting it on fire.
The CPI (Maoist) and its breakaway faction PLFI have been fighting a turf war in the district, he added.
According to police records, the PLFI is active mainly in Gumla, Khunti and Simdega districts and parts of Ranchi rural area.
