A Maoist carrying a reward of Rs 1 lakh on his head was arrested in Malkangiri on Sunday in a joint operation by the BSF and police.
The arrested Red rebel was Chandra Sisa alias Chandan.
Sources said Chandan was nabbed following the operation in the Swabhiman Anchal of the district.
Malkangiri Superintendent of Police (SP) Jagmohan Meena said Chandan, who is a member of the Andhra-Odisha Zonal Board Committee was forwarded to the court on Monday.
Earlier on April 27, the Koraput Police had arrested a hardcore Maoist Jayram Khila from Talakandapali village under the Padua police station in the district.
Khila was the member of Nandapur area committee of the outlawed group, against whom several criminal cases including the murder of TDP MLA from Araku in Andhra Pradesh are pending.
