Daltonganj, June 25: A cadre of the banned splinter group of naxals Tritiya Sammelan Prastuti Committee (TSPC), Deepak Rajwar, 52, today surrendered without any firearms before the Assistant Superintendent of Police and SDPO Daltonganj, Rishabh Garg and SDPO Bishrampur Surjit Kumar. He carried no reward on his head. Rajwar belongs to Hussainabad in Palamu. He was garlanded by Garg, as a mark of recognition for his surrender.
It was Rajwar who had sent feelers to the police about his surrender and SP Chandan Kumar Sinha and his team just didn’t miss this catch, said sources.
Initially, this TSPC man was to surrender today before the Palamu SP but he was said to be unwell. Garg said Rajwar has 4 cases, three of them in Palamu’s Hariharganj Police Station and one case in Garhwa district.
Rajwar was operative in the years 2017 and 2018 but thereafter, he became dormant. Commenting on this, Garg said, “Sometimes it happens that extremists remain undiscovered which does not mean that they were always inoperative. They do remain operative but beyond the sight of the police”. Further, he said no surrender of an extremist is any small. Each surrender is welcome to the mainstream of life.
The extremists who are still in the holes and caves and in the jungles should see this and give a positive thought to coming to law, opined Garg. “Last week I was out for an anti-naxal operation. I had to negotiate a tough and steep hillock. It was breathtaking. There I thought how miserable the lives would have been of the extremists. I appeal to them to come to us. Our state policy will take care of them,” suggested Garg.
