Police on Saturday arrested four members of the banned People’s liberation Front of India (PlFI) from a place in Sundargarh district.
According to sources, the PlFI members were planning to execute loot when they were nabbed. They were allegedly involved in Mandiakuda petrol pump robbery that took place last week besides many loot cases in Odisha, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh.
The police seized four pistols, bullets, two motorcycles and `50, 000 from their possession. While two of them are from the Biramitrapur area and the two others belong to Kolabira in Jharkhand.
The police have formed three special squads to nab the kingpin of the gang. They are now conducting raids at various places for the purpose.
