The Ranveer Sena is suspected to be behind several massacres of lower caste supporters of Naxalites and Left-oriented parties.
Inspector General of Police (operations) Neelmani said the men, led by Vijay Kumar of Nirajpur village, were hatching a conspiracy to commit some crimes in the district when the police swooped down on them.
Police sources said that two country-made pistols, one gun, some live cartridges and a diary containing details of extortion money, were recovered from the arrested men.
Neelmani said that Satish Sharma, a resident of Senari village, wanted in connection with the Miapur carnage was among those arrested.
