The main accused Yogendra Singh Bhokta (26) was undergoing treatment at a south Delhi hospital for almost two years and was footing the bills that ran into lakhs of rupees.

“Bhokta was getting all the money for treatment from Jharkhand. As he was the zonal commander of the outfit he used to plan all the operation sitting here in Delhi. He was constantly in touch with his counterparts,” said a senior police officer.

Bhokta had injured his thigh after a shootout with a rival naxalite group in 2007.
