Ranchi, Feb 5 (ANI): Jharkhand Police on Friday made a big headway in the investigation of brutal beheading of police officer Francis Indudwar with the arrest of six Naxals, including Gobardhan Munda who is suspected to be involved in the deed.

The arrested Naxals also include two women activists.

The Naxals were arrested from Surakocha village which falls under the Arki police station of Khunti District.
