"This weapon came into Maoists hands from Myanmar, where extremists are very active," the DGP said at a press conference here.

Not ruling out that the arms might have come into Jharkhand from the Bihar route, he said, the recoveries showed how strong the intelligence network had become in the state.

Stating, it was not the first time that the police had seized foreign arms from the Maoists, the DGP said, earlier too foreign arms were seized from the rebels at Chaibasa, Palamau and Jamshedpur.

A team of National Investigation Agency interrogated the two arrested Maoists, who were nabbed with the US-made weapon and a Rs four lakh worth bullet-proof jacket, made in the United Kingdom.
