In a significant breakthrough, the Delhi Police arrested a 23-year-old woman from Jharkhand, who was wanted in multiple police encounters and booked under several stringent laws, including the Indian Penal Code (IPC), Arms Act, Explosives Act, and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). The arrest took place in the Pitampura area of Delhi, where she had been hiding under a false identity.
Background and Criminal History
The accused had been evading law enforcement since 2020 and was associated with left-wing extremist groups operating in Jharkhand and neighboring states. She was allegedly involved in attacks on security forces, extortion activities, and supplying logistical support to Naxal operatives. Intelligence reports indicate that she was a key intermediary between urban sympathizers and underground Maoist groups, facilitating the movement of funds, weapons, and information.
