Maoist Commander Arrested in Varanasi After Jharkhand Encounter
Imagine a leader of a group, like a bad guys' gang, got hurt in a fight with the police in Jharkhand.
His nephew took him to a hospital in Varanasi to get better.
The leader, who was using a fake name, had gotten shot and needed surgery.
The police found out where he was and arrested him and his nephew.
The hospital might be in trouble because they didn't tell the police about the guy's injuries, which they're supposed to do.
Now the police are looking into everything to figure out what happened and what the next steps should be.
Akhilesh Yadav, a TSPC commander, was arrested in Varanasi after a Jharkhand encounter.
He was injured in a May 17 encounter in Jharkhand and admitted to a Varanasi hospital.
His nephew, Akash Yadav, admitted him under a false identity.
The hospital is under investigation for not reporting the medico-legal case to the police.
Police have taken Gautamji into custody and arrested his nephew, Akash Yadav.
