Bihar: Ranvir Sena activist held

JEHANABAD: In a major breakthrough, the Jehanabad police on Thursday night arrested the self-styled divisional commander of the Ranvir Sena, Ajgaybee Sharma, along with five associates from Pokhwan village under Shakurabad police station in the district.

Ajgaybee, wanted in two dozen cases of extortion, murder and massacre, registered with Tekari, Konch and Belaganj police stations of Gaya district and Goh and Uphare police station of Aurangabad district, had been evading arrest for the past several years.

Two country-made pistols and live cartridge were also recovered from their possession.
