Police recovered a large cache of weapons and explosives from the militants. Seized items included AK-47 rifles, country-made pistols, cartridges, detonators and other ammunition. Officers carried out intensive search operations in multiple districts to track down the suspects and seize the weapons.

Officials said several of the arrested militants had been absconding for many years and were wanted in old criminal cases. Some suspects were also linked to incidents dating back more than a decade.

Police added that strong intelligence inputs and coordination with neighbouring states, especially Jharkhand, helped dismantle the militant network. Authorities believe the crackdown has significantly weakened Naxal activity in Bihar’s affected districts.

According to officials, Notorious Naxalite Pradeep Arrested during a joint operation by the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) and Dumaria police. The team carried out a raid in a border village after receiving intelligence inputs and managed to capture him.

Pradeep, a resident of Jharkhand’s Palamu district, had been involved in several Naxal-related activities across Bihar and nearby states. Authorities say he played a key role in multiple armed attacks and helped plan violent operations targeting security forces.

Police records state that he was involved in a 2012 attack on a joint search team of police and CRPF personnel. During that incident, he and his associates opened heavy fire while attempting to loot weapons, leaving a police officer seriously injured.

After his arrest, officials brought him to the police headquarters under tight security. Investigators are now questioning him to gather information about his network and other members of the group.
