Lohardaga (Jharkhand): One person was on Saturday arrested on charges of plotting to attack the convoy of Jharkhand Chief Minister Arjun Munda during his visit here on Wednesday. "Lal Guddunath Sahadeo was arrested, and interrogation was on," SP Jitendra Kumar Singh said here.
Singh, however, claimed he did not know which party Sahadeo belonged to.
Deputy SP Anil Kumar Jha said, "The police intercepted Sahadeo`s telephonic conversation with Maoist zonal-commander Ravindra Ganju about blowing up the chief minister`s convoy during his visit to Lohardaga. He was arrested after two days of interrogation." Munda today concluded his visit to Lohardaga, Palamau and Latehar districts where he took stock of development projects, including condition of roads in the Maoist-infested districts. On December 3, former Jharkhand assembly speaker Inder Singh Namdhari escaped unhurt when the Maoists had attacked his convoy, in which 10 policemen and a child were killed in Latehar district.
