Two PLFI operatives arrested from West Singhbhum district

Two operatives of the People's Liberation Front of India (PLFI), allegedly involved in abduction of four officials of Jharkhand Mining department last year, were arrested during an ongoing anti-Naxal operation in the West Singhbhum district, a senior police officer today said.
Acting on an information that a group of ultras have assembled in Tilaisud village under Muffasil police station, security personnel led by Superintendent of Police N K Singh conducted a raid in the house of an ultra Ramkamal Das and arrested Sonaram Sundi.
Addressing a press conference here today, Singh said the security personnel chased the duo and caught him while others members of the outfit including the head of the squad Amar Gudia managed to flee.

While a rifle, a magazine and five live cartridges were recovered from Sundi, the police also recovered four rifles, five live cartridges, one mobile handset and Naxal literatures from Das' house, Singh said.
Sundi was accused in the killing of a villager few days ago under Goilkera police station and the duo were also involved in kidnapping of four Jharkhand Mines department officials in December last.
Meanwhile, a massive anti-Naxal operation "Kaaro II" was launched by the security personnel to flush out ultras from the Naxal-affected areas of the district.
