Bihar:
Police in India's eastern Bihar state arrested two Maoists and recovered a cache of arms and ammunition from their hideout, officials said on Tuesday, June 15.
After receiving specific information about a Maoist training camp in Mohanpur in Gaya district, a special team of the security forces was sent there.
"Two days ago Gaya police received information about a training camp of Maoists in Hazaribagh district. They could have planned a destructive incident on the basis of this information a special team was formed," said Amit Lodh, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) in Gaya district.
"When the team went to the dense forest of the Badgada forest area, Maoists opened fire on the special team. About 150 rounds of fire were opened and after that the forces retaliated by opening fire on the Maoists. They crawled up the mountain and chased the Maoists, and then blasted three of their camps. Police have received huge cache of arms and ammunitions including ammonium nitrate, nine cane bombs, one rifle, detonators, their literature, uniform, bullets and tents," Lodh added.
"Two people hailing from Jharkhand state have been arrested from the training camp. Their names are Krishna Ravidas and Laxmi Ravidas," he said.
The Maoists say they are crusading against the prevailing political system and in cause of the poor and marginal farmers and landless labourers.
