Two members of the banned Communist Party of India (Maoist) were arrested on Friday by the Madhya Pradesh police.
The arrest, made on Friday night by the Singrauli police, was confirmed to The Hindu by Singrauli SP Irshad Wali.
“The members belonged to the Renga Yadav dalam. One of them had killed Renga in June and was trying to regroup the dalam,” Mr. Wali told The Hindu.
The arrested duo was mainly running extortion rackets in Singrauli and bordering Chhattisgarh, the police claimed.
"We also seized some weapons, along with some live ammunition from them," said the SP.
