Three Maoists with Rs 22 Lakh Bounty Arrested in Jharkhand Police OperationPreviousNext

Three Maoists with a combined bounty of Rs 22 lakh were arrested in Jharkhand's Seraikela-Kharsawan district, including regional committee member Madan Mahato and sub-zonal committee members Ravi Singh Sardar and Meena Pahadiya. The arrests followed a joint operation by CoBRA, CRPF, and Jharkhand police, recovering an AK-47, pistol, ammunition, and communication devices. The Maoists are linked to multiple criminal cases and a 2018 gunfight that resulted in a CRPF jawan's death. Authorities urged remaining Naxals to surrender or face elimination.
