Lalu joined the Maoists in 2009 as PLGA member in Gangalur Area Committee and carries a cash reward of Rs 10 lakh on his head. He was involved in 12 offences. He quit the Maoist party as he was said to be fed up with the hollow Maoist ideology, because of discrimination shown against him by naxals in Jharkhand as he held a high position in the party and his love affair with a naxal cadre Anupriya in JRC area.
