Bara massacre was a caste based carnage that took place in 1992 in Bihar. At midnight on 12–13 February 1992, the Maoist Communist Centre of India (now the Communist Party of India (Maoist)) killed 40 Bhumihars at Bara Village in Gaya district of Bihar, India.[3][4] The MCC's armed group brought the 35 men of Bara village to the bank of a nearby canal, tied their hands and slit their throats.[3][4] As many as 36 people were accused of the crime, but charges were framed against only 13. The police failed to arrest the others, who had defied their summons.[3][4]
