In a significant breakthrough, Bihar's Special Task Force (STF) and district police have uncovered a cache of Maoist materials, including 46 detonators and rebel uniforms, in Jamui's Pachkatia forest.

Acting on intelligence, the joint operation successfully located and seized the hidden items, which included Maoist literature. This operation forms part of a larger strategy to dismantle rebel networks in the region.

Meanwhile, in another coordinated effort in Purnea, the STF arrested a suspected arms dealer, Kunal Kumar, and confiscated a German pistol, AK-47 rifle parts, and 440 assorted cartridges from his possession. Investigations into both seizures are underway, with officials determined to crack down on illicit activities.
