Chatra: A TSPC extremist, identified as Arjun Ganjhu, was arrested on Tuesday along with a pistol and large quantity of Insas rifle ammunition.
Chatra SP Sumit Kumar Agarwal said a tip-off was received that Arjun possessed illegal bullets and weapons, which were kept somewhere at Tikda village under the limits of Lawalong police station area.
A team led by Simaria SDPO Shubham Khandelwal was formed, and a raid was conducted. Arjun was close to the arrested top commander of TSPC, Akraman Ganjhu.
Agarwal said, "During the raid, a loaded country-made pistol was recovered from him. Based on his information, 477 rounds of live bullets of INSAS rifle and 246 rounds of .303 rifle, totalling 723 rounds of live bullets, were also recovered. All bullets were hidden in a box under the ground in the forest of Tikda village.
The recovered bullets were seized, and the accused was sent to Chatra jail in judicial custody."
Arjun also went to jail in one case in the past. He said, "Chatra police achieved significant success against the TSPC organisation and would continue to take action against such outfits in the future."
On the other hand, Akraman, the most wanted and dreaded commander of TSPC, was arrested in March this year. He had a reward of Rs 15 lakh on his head.
