This arrest is expected to help in strengthening law and order not only in Ballia but also in the surrounding districts.
The name of the arrested Naxalite is Sitaram alias Vinay ji alias Omprakash. Sitaram, resident of Ballia district, was absconding for the last 13 years. He has been a prominent member and office bearer of the banned militant organization CPI (Maoist). He was given the responsibility of expanding the mass movement in the organization. Over ground workers from urban areas also participated in their meetings, who carried forward the activities of the organization.
A reward of Rs 50,000 was placed on a Naxalite
A case of serious murder was registered against Sitaram in Ballia district in 2012. He had murdered Phoolmati, wife of village head Musafir Chauhan. At the time of the incident, the village head somehow managed to escape. According to the police, the village head was suspected to be a police informer, hence the attack was carried out.
