The leader of ultra outfit Jharkhand Bachao Aandolan Mukesh Sao, who had been arrested by the Hazaribagh Police on September 17 and was sent to jail on 18th, is going to double the trouble of ex-Minister Yogendra Sao. Sources said that during interrogation Mukesh has said that the ex-Minister had supplied weapons to their organisation through Raju Sao.
After arresting Mukesh, police searched his house and found some useful papers, one of which mentioned the names of 21 persons who were in the hit list of JBA, attempts to kidnap four have already been made by the organisation. In another, there are names of 18 persons from whom the organisation has collected over Rs2 crores as levy, sources revealed.
With time the police is coming across many proofs and statements which will help them in proving the charges framed against Ex-Minister in the court. Police sources said that like the members of Jharkhand Tiger Force very soon the members of Jharkhand Bachao Aandolan group will be behind the bars.
