The group had set on fire a motorcycle of Sher Bahadur Chad that was parked in front of Chandra Shoes shop in the district headquarters.
All the long and short-distance bus services did not operate on Tuesday due to the protest.
Chad said that Maoists allegedly set his two-wheeler on fire as he had an altercation with the latter on Monday afternoon in course of a tender bidding.
Local Maoist leader Padam Raj Joshi has denied any involvement of Maoist cadres in the incident.
