Naxal leader held in Chhattisgarh
Special Correspondent
HYDERABAD: An important naxalite leader, believed to be responsible for many attacks on the police in Chhattisgarh and the adjoining areas of Maharashtra, was arrested on Tuesday.
A huge quantity of explosives and weapons was recovered at his instance, according to the Chhattisgarh police.
Inspector-General Giridhari Nayak said Subhas alias Aitu was taken into custody by a police team that went to Dongargarh town in Rajnandgaon district.
Police raided several places based on the information given by him and recovered two AK-47 rifles, two self-loading rifles (9SLRs), two shot guns, 150 gelatine sticks and a wireless set.
Mr. Nayak said the weapons were looted by naxalites after killing seven policemen in Gadchiroli in 2005.
Subhash was on the wanted list for over eight years and his arrest has come as a morale booster for the Chhattisgarh police.
