Indian Maoist rebels are holding more than 300 passengers hostage on a train in the insurgency-hit state of Jharkhand, police said Wednesday, in the middle of national general elections.
"Rebels have the train in their control. We are preparing to rescue the people," police officer Sarvendu Thatagat told AFP.
The train has been held in Latehar district, which went to the polls in the first phase of elections on April 16, with further voting in the state to be held on Thursday.
