Seven Naxalites, one of them carrying a reward of Rs 1 lakh, were arrested on Sunday in Chhattisgarh's Sukma district, police said.
The arrests come ahead of the first phase of the Lok Sabha elections beginning April 19.
The police have recovered a muzzle-loading gun, 3 kg of black powder explosive, an improvised explosive device (IED) weighing 8 kg, a tiffin bomb weighing 3 kg and two gelatin sticks from them, he said.
