A Naxal janmilitiacommander, carrying a reward of Rs one lakh, was arrested by Chhattisgarh police from neighbouring Telangana, a senior official said today.
Acting on a specific input, the cadre Baman Kawasi alias Chaman (32) was apprehended from Husnabad area in Telangana's Khammam district yesterday, Dantewada Additional Superintendent of Police Gorakhnath Bahgel told PTI.
After receiving the information about the location of Kawasi, a native of Kuwakonda police station area (Dantewada), a local police team was sent to the place, he said.
The ultra was wanted in several Naxal-related incidents and therefore fearing his arrest, he was hiding in Khammam, the ASP said.

Besides, he was also allegedly involved in other incidents of planting improvised explosive devices (IEDs)to target troopers, firing on police patrolling team, torching machines and vehicles engaged in construction works, the ASP said adding he was carrying a reward of Rs one lakh on his head.
