Meanwhile, the Lohardaga District Police on November 14 arrested a People's Liberation Front of India (PLFI) activist, Santosh Pradhan, along with a locally-made pistol and four cartridges following a gun battle with the insurgents near Kalhepath village, according to Times of India. The PLFI activists were led by Surendra Oraon, charged in dozens of cases, including those of abduction and loot. A few years back, he had fled from Lohardaga prison. The SP Subodh Prasad said Senha Police had received a tip-off that PLFI cadres would go to collect levy from a brick kiln owner at Kalhepath. The PLFI activists opened fire on the cops. The Police retaliated but in order to save civilians in the way failed to arrest at least three insurgents, including Surendra Oraon. However, Santosh Pradhan of Senha was arrested.
