Expressing concern over the frequent incidences of extremism, Director General of Police (DGP) DK Pandey ordered senior police officials of four districts to keep a check on movement of extremist outfits.
During a meeting with Khunti SP Anish Gupta, Ranchi Rural SP Raj Kumar lakra, Gumla SP Chandan Kumar Jha and Simdega SP Rajiv Ranjan Singh, DGP ordered them to keep a tight leash on advances from People’s liberation Front of India (PlFI).
PlFI rebels had gunned down six criminals near Ranchi-Khunti border on Tuesday in a bid to assert their supremacy. The murdered criminals were former members of PlFI who later became competition for the outfit in siphoning levies in the region.
“We were ordered to intensify operations against PlFI cadres active in the region. The SPs were ordered to strengthen anti-PlFI operations in their respective districts,” stated Khunti SP Gupta.
