Palamu District Armed Police (DAP) along with Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) Bihar arrested ‘area commander’ Arvind Ram and five others, of the Jharkhand Jan Mukti Parishad (JJMP), a splinter group of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), bringing a sense of relief to brick kiln operators in Bihar and Jharkhand, from Hussainabad Town in Palamu District of Jharkhand on February 26, reports lagatar24.com. The JJMP ‘area commander’ Arvind had created a reign of terror among the brick kiln operators, and it was a trans-border terror. Farmers who produce coarse grains on the river Sone’s dry land in Bihar were also required to pay the ‘levy’ (extortion money) to this JJMP rebel. Arvind is a renegade criminal who has worked as a Maoist, a dacoit, and a member of the Tritiya Sammelan Prastuti Committee/Tritiya Prastuti Committee (TSPC/TPC), a CPI-Maoist splinter group, before joining the JJMP. He spent three years in Rajasthan’s Jaipur jail, but that did not make him a reasonable guy, according to the Superintendent of Police (SP), Palamu, Chandan Kumar Sinha. There are 15 cases against Arvind, and Police in Bihar and Jharkhand were looking for him. The six JJMP cadres had arrived in Jharkhand’s Palamu (Hussainabad) to extort money from a brick kiln operator but their plan was foiled by the SSB Bihar and the Jharkhand Palamu DAP. Police recovered a well-finished country-made rifle and Katta with 10 rounds of ammunition, as well as seven cell phones, from the possession of the six arrested cadres.
