Maharashtra ATS arrests Naxalite with Rs 10 lakh bounty in Thane
The accused, a zonal committee member of a banned organisation, was apprehended in the Thakurli area following specific intelligence.
The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) arrested a wanted Naxalite in the Thane district on Saturday, according to Telangana Today and ThePrint.
Sanjay Sarju Yadav, 45, was taken into custody in the Thakurli area after authorities received specific intelligence regarding his location.
Yadav, who hails from Devgaon village in Jharkhand's Palamu district, is a zonal committee member of a banned Naxalite organisation.
During initial questioning, Yadav told officials that he had been staying in Thakurli for 10 days to avoid being caught by the police.
The Maharashtra ATS transferred Yadav to the Jharkhand Police, who have since made a formal arrest for further legal proceedings.
