The apprehended PLFI cadre has been identified as Pulus Topno, said the CRPF, adding the insurgent was held during a special operation conducted around 4.30 am in Lohajimi forested area in Khunti district's Tapkara region.
"The troops of 94 Battalion and police conducted special operation around 4.30 am on Tuesday and apprehended a PLFI cadre identified as Pulus Topno," the CRPF said.
