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.
