Four Maoists, including one carrying a bounty of ₹5 lakh on his head, were arrested in Jharkhand’s Gumla district, a senior police officer said on Tuesday (August 18, 2026).
Acting on a tip-off, a police team conducted a raid in the Aurapat forest area within the Dumri Police Station limits and arrested the red rebels, he stated.
“The police arrested Ramdeo Lohra. This person is a sub-zonal commander of JJMP, a splinter group of the banned CPI (Maoist), Arvind Nayak, an area commander, and two other members of the outfit. Lohra was carrying a bounty of ₹5 lakh on his head,” Jharkhand Police IG Operations Narendra Singh said.
Lohra and Nayak hail from Lohardaga district, he stated.
Gumla SP Haris Bin Zaman said two other Maoists have been identified as Muneshwar Singh, a resident of Lohardaga district, and Jitendra Lohra of Gumla.
A enormous cache of arms and ammunition was recovered from their possession.
