Raipur: – The security agencies arrested the Most wanted Maoist carrying rewards announced by states of Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh, worth hundreds of thousands, on his head. This Maoist commander was injured in an encounter at Ranjangaon in Chhattisgarh.
On Tuesday night, nearly 20 to 22 Maoists were waiting in ambush, in the forests at Ranjangaon in Chhattisgarh, to attack the Security Forces.

But one prized Maoist was injured in the encounter. He was later arrested in the search operation launched by the security forces.
