In Jharkhand, police have arrested five hardcore naxals belonging to the People's Liberation Front of India, PLFI from three different parts of the state during the past 24 hours.

The arrest comes in wake of killing of AJSU leader Tileswar Sahu in Barhi last Saturday. Security forces launched a massive search operation following the killing.

The arrests of naxals from Khunti, Palamu and Sonahatu is certainly a big boost for the police and security forces, who have been fighting constant battles with the Maoists. The arrest comes in wake of killing of a AJSU leader.

Police is also recovering huge quantities of arms and ammunitions from the naxals. All these will not only restore confidence of the people, but help the authorities to conduct the forthcoming Lok Sabha poll in more effective and peaceful manner.
