A Naxal carrying a reward of Rs 1 lakh on his head was arrested in Tongpal in Chhattisgarh's Sukma district, police said on Saturday.
Kawasi Madda (37) was apprehended near Pratapgiri village on Friday evening when the CRPF's 227th battalion and local police were on an area domination operation, said Vijay Patel, Station House Officer (SHO) of Tongpal.
"Madda is the head of CNM (Chetna Natya Mandli- a cultural wing of Maoists) in the area. He was involved in planting improvised explosive devices (IEDs) near Tahakwada village in Tongpal area in April 2017. One of the IEDs went off, killing a man," Patel said.
