'Militia commander' Chaitu Ghawde and Sonu Lohar, the arrested ultras, were members of 'Jan militia' of Maoists, according to the police.
A contingent of district police and Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) nabbed the two in the jungle within limits of Madanwada police station, a restive area, late last evening, a senior police official told PTI over phone.
Both were active in the Naxal movement since 2007 and involved in cases of loot, arson and murder in the area, the official said.
Two muzzle-loading guns were also seized from their possession.
