"The body was recovered after the villagers informed the police," Superintendent of Police Manoj Kaushik said here.
The rebel was identified as Suryadeo Yadav alias Kinkarjee, who was wanted in ten Naxal incidents in Hazaribagh and Chatra districts of Jharkhand, Kaushik said.
Yadav was suspected to be killed by his own group following a dispute over sharing the loot, Kaushik said.
