GAYA(BIHAR): Police on Sunday claimed to have arrested a hardcore maoist and, based on his tip-off, recovered a few assault rifles and a large quantity of ammunition. According to Harpreet Kaur, the Senior Superintendent of Police of Gaya, a raid was conducted at a forest in the Naxal-infested Imamganj police station area of the district, following information about a gathering of Left-wing extremists.
Ashok Kumar Bhokta, said to be a zonal commander of the outlawed CPI (Maoist), was caught at the spot even though his associates managed to flee, taking advantage of the dark.
