Sukma, Feb 28: Nineteen Naxals, including four female cadres, surrendered in Chhattisgarh’s worst-affected Sukma district, officials informed on Monday.
“The ultras, three of them carrying cash rewards of Rs 1 lakh each on their heads, turned themselves in before police and CRPF officials at Bhejji police station in the district on Sunday evening, citing disappointment with the inhuman and hollow Maoist ideology,” a senior official said.
According to the official, all of the rebels were from Bodhrajpadar hamlet in the Bhejji area and were members of the outlawed Maoist movement’s lower rung cadres.
“A large number of locals accompanied them when they reached the police station, located over 400 km from the state capital Raipur,” he said.
According to the officials, they will be provided with facilities in accordance with the Chhattisgarh government’s surrender and rehabilitation policy.
