In a decisive crackdown on Naxalite activity, Bijapur district police in Chhattisgarh arrested nine individuals on Friday. One of them, Raju Oyam, had a Rs 1 lakh bounty on his head.
Five of the arrests were made during an anti-Maoist operation in the forest near Pusbaka village, under Basaguda police station limits. According to an official, Oyam was a member of the Usur Local Organisation Squad, an outlawed Maoist unit, while Bhima Madvi held a significant position as vice president of Gaganpalli RPC (Revolutionary Party Committee) Jantana Sarkar.
Authorities recovered a variety of items from the suspects, including a 'tiffin' bomb, gelatin sticks, and anti-government pamphlets. Three more lower-rung cadres were captured in Usur, and another individual was apprehended within Tarrem police station limits after being involved in a police confrontation at a new security camp.
