Two Naxalites were arrested while planting improvised explosive devices (IEDs) to target security forces in Chhattisgarh's Bijapur district, police said on Sunday. Another Maoist surrendered in Bijapur.

A patrol of the District Reserve Guard nabbed Bhadru Punem (40) and Sannu Punem (35) when they were planting explosives on a dirt track in a forest near Pusnar village in the Gangaloor police station limits on Saturday, Inspector General of Police (Bastar) Sundarraj P said.

Two bombs, gelatin sticks, wires, medicines and Maoist pamphlets and banners were recovered from them.

On Sunday, a Naxalite, Rama Potam (30), surrendered to the police and the CRPF, the officer said.

Potam joined the outlawed CPI (Maoist) in 2007 and was Deputy Commander of a platoon in Bhairamgarh area.

He was given Rs 10,000 as initial amount and will get more facilities as per the state's surrender and rehabilitation policy, the official said.
