Khunti encounter: Two Maoist Ultras held

Two Maoist Ultras allegedly involved in Tuesday's encounter in which the Ranchi SSP was injured, were arrested from Seraikela-Kharswan district today.
Superintendent of Police Indrajeet Mahatha said Mangru Munda alias Arjun Munda, who was the body guard of 'Area Commander' Kundan Pahan, and 36-year-old Sombari Mundari were arrested during a checking drive from Kharswan.
Mahatha said Munda, who had also been injured in that encounter in Khunti district, admitted that they were part of the outfit.
A Maoist Ultra, identified as 'area commander' Chandan ji, was killed in the encounter and the SSP Prabhat Kumar was injured.
Munda informed interrogators that another Ultra, Lakhan Munda, also suffered bullet injury during the encounter but escaped. However, he said, he was not aware about Lakhan's whereabouts.

Mahatha said Munda had sneaked into Seraikela-Kharswan district bordering Khunti and wanted to get medical treatment.
A pistol loaded with two rounds and naxal literature were seized from them, Mahatha said.
