A sub-zonal commander of the banned outfit Tritiya Sammelan Prastuti Committee (TSPC), a splinter group of the CPI(Maoist), was arrested with arms and ammunition from Jharkhand’s Latehar district, police said on Tuesday (May 5, 2026).
The 42-year-old man has been associated with the TSPC for the past 15 years. At least 16 criminal cases are pending against him in multiple districts of the state, a senior police officer said.
“The accused was nabbed during a raid on his house located within the Chandwa police station in Latehar district, following a tip-off regarding his presence,” Ranchi Rural SP Gaurav Goswami said.
