Aurangabad: Two members of the proscribed CPI (Maoist) engaged in extorting money from brick kiln owners were captured by the villagers and handed over to police in Bihar's naxalite affected Aurangabad district today (Apr 14, 2006), police said.

The two Maoists were captured by the residents of Jogia village while they were returning after handing over letters to brick kiln owners to deposit the extortion money to the organisation, the police said.

About a week back, the naxalites had torched two trucks and as many tractors in the same village after the brick kiln owners had refused to pay the extortion money to the naxalites.
