Maoists torched two machines and a pick up vehicle engaged in road construction near here in Madhya Pradesh, police said today.

A group of four Maoists set afire the JCB machines and the vehicle last night near Machhurda police post, about 100km from here, inspector general of Police C B Muniraju told PTI.

The spot is close to Rajnandgaon in Chhattisgarh.
