40kg Bomb Cache Recovered as Bihar Cops Arrest PLFI Duo

A high-stakes police action in Bihar’s Nawada has crippled PLFI operations, with two seasoned Naxals in custody and a treasure trove of munitions seized from their jungle hideout. The STF-Nawada police teamwork exemplifies the intensifying war on left-wing extremism gripping the state.

Friday’s intelligence breakthrough tracked Dayanand ‘Pappu’ Rajwanshi alias Gurjar and Mithilesh Rajwanshi to Rajouli thana jurisdiction. Their swift arrest paved the way to Bhanekhaph’s forested heights, where searchers discovered an alarming stock: dual rifles with 20 bullets, armored tactical vest, nine detonators, 40 kg explosives in divided containers, plus 100m cordex fuse.

This recovery, flagged under Rajouli FIR, marks a critical disruption to PLFI’s resurgence bid in Bihar. Questioning continues to expose handlers and safe houses, with digital trails under scrutiny.

State authorities project unwavering enforcement against disruptors, integrating tech-driven intel with boots-on-ground tactics. The operation’s success underscores evolving strategies against Naxalism, from fortified borders to village-level vigilance.

For Nawada’s residents, weary of sporadic violence, this is a beacon of hope. It signals a tipping point where security forces outpace insurgents, potentially reshaping Bihar’s security landscape for safer tomorrows.
