The gang’s activities had come to light after the videos of its members openly displaying sharp weapons in the streets and terrorizing citizens went viral on various social media platforms some months ago.

Sources said the police will forward Jena to court and seek permission to take him on remand to ascertain his motive behind making such videos using firearms and sharp weapons.

The police had launched a manhunt to nab Jena who went underground following a police crackdown against the gang. The police had also raided his house at Gandamunda in November last year.
