The Kalahandi police on Monday arrested a militia of Kandhamal-Kalahandi-Boudh-Nayagarh (KKBN) Division from the Barabandha jungle under the Madanpur Rampur police station.
The accused was identified as 30-year-old Ghana Majhi, a resident of Sikuli village.
Kalahandi SP B Gangadhar said that acting on a tipoff, a special team of the police conducted a raid in the jungle and caught Majhi red-handed while he was carrying explosive materials, which were to be supplied to the Maoists. The police also recovered leaflets and food materials from him.
The Madanpur Rampur police registered a case and forwarded Majhi to court, where his bail petition was rejected.
