"He was a pillar for the CPI (Maoist) in Jharkhand's Lugu, Jhumra and Parasnath areas," Mr Homkar said.
The Jharkhand Police, the CRPF and other agencies have been jointly carrying out operations against the CPI (Maoist) and other outfits in the state, the IG said.
Mr Homkar said more than 1,300 Maoists were arrested, around 50 red rebels surrendered and 31 of them were killed during gunfights, in the past three years.
"The base area of the Maoists has shrunk, and they are now restricted to a few pockets in the state," he added.
