Maoist-backed People's Committee against Police Atrocities (PCPA) have claimed responsibility for the derailment of an express train that left at least 65 dead and over 150 injured early today.
           
"The PCAPA have left two posters near the rail tracks clearly owning responsibility for the derailment of the Kurla-bound Gyaneswari Express," IGP (law and order) S Karpurakayastha told PTI here.
           
The posters read, "We earlier demanded withdrawal of the joint security forces from Jangalmahal (West Midnapore, Bankura and Purulia) and end of CPI(M) atrocities, but those demands were not met."
           
Another poster demanded immediate withdrawal of the joint forces from the area.
           
Police have seized both posters.
