A Maoist, carrying a reward of more than Rs 10 lakh on his head, has been arrested
by the Special Task Force of Bihar police from adjoining Jharkhand, a senior officer said here on Saturday.
Siddhu Koda, a zonal commander of the outlawed CPI (Maoist), was arrested from a railway station in Dumka, about
100 km from here, by an STF team that had gone there upon receiving a tip-off, Jamui Superintendent of Police (SP)
Inamul Haq Mengnu said. He said Koda, who was a resident of Chakai block in
the district, was involved in several high-profile Maoist attacks and carried a reward of Rs 1 lakh in Bihar and Rs 10

been seized from the possession of Koda who has been brought here and sent to jail after being produced before a court, the
