Bihar police uncovered a concealed cache of weapons intended for Maoist rebels in Lakhisarai district, preventing a potential security threat.
On a recent day, officers from the Bihar Police Department discovered a hidden arms depot in the Lakhisarai district, a move that thwarted a potential Maoist attack. The cache, concealed beneath a makeshift structure, contained rifles, ammunition, and explosive devices earmarked for insurgent use.
The operation was part of the state’s ongoing anti-Maoist campaign, aimed at dismantling the logistical support network of left-wing extremist groups. Police seized the weapons and detained several suspects believed to be involved in the smuggling and distribution of arms.
A spokesperson for the Lakhisarai police said the raid prevented a serious security breach and that the seized materials will be handed over to the central Directorate of Military Operations for further analysis. Investigations are continuing to trace the source of the arms and identify any additional accomplices.
