18 Naxalites arrested

Biharsharif: Eighteen members of the banned CPI-Maoist were arrested and a huge cache of firearms and ammunition recovered from them while the rebels were enacting a drama with real weapons in Bihar’s Nalanda district on Tuesday.

Eight rifles, three country-made carbines, three pistols, a double barrel gun and 50 bullets were seized from them, SP Amit Kumar told reporters. PTI
