[RxPG] Patna, Feb 3 - A top Maoist leader from Bihar who was suspected to be the brain behind the sensational Jehanabad jailbreak in 2005 has been arrested, police officials said Saturday.

Ajay Kanu was arrested near Patna Friday night by a Bihar Special Task Force team, police told reporters.

Earlier, police had denied reports that Kanu had been caught in Kolkata by a Bihar Special Task Force team.

Security was tightened at Jehanabad jail, about 50 km from here, following the arrest. 'The jail security has been handed over to the Gorkhas of the CRPF - and police forces have been deployed along the Gaya-Patna railway line to counter any retaliation by Maoists,' a home department official said.

Kanu, who is in his late 30s, hit the headlines after the jailbreak in November 2005 when about 1,000 Maoist guerrillas freed him and other prisoners and dragged away a few convicts belonging to the Ranvir Sena, the landlord militia.

Kanu, who carried a cash reward of Rs.500,000 on his head, hails from Chauhar village in Arwal district, a Maoist stronghold. Police last year attached his property.

He is considered second in command in the banned Communist Party of India-Maoist in Bihar after its top leader Arvind.
