A day after the torching of 13 vehicles by CPI Maoists at Chaparwar under Pipra police station, Palamu police had a big catch in form of Sandip Yadav alias Kayl Yadav on Saturday. Sandip was caught at Hermoo village along with two of his aides – Ajay and Shambhu.
Giving this information, SP Ajay Linda said Sandip had spent his time at Burha Pahar in January 2020 and here he had learnt the art of lying low but striking with precision as his main modus operandi was extortion.
Linda said police recovered a regular carbine which was a looted one from police.
SP said Sandip had climbed down from Burha Pahar and got the carbine.
Linda said the carbine has 500 firing shots per minute capacity.
Apart from this carbine police recovered 9 mm cartridges numbering 91 and a full magazine having 32/34 fire shots.
Ten cases are lodged against Sandip and nine of them are with Panki police. One case is with Herhunj police station, said SP.
