Nine Maoists carrying a cumulative reward of Rs 47 lakh surrendered before police in Chhattisgarh’s Dhamtari district on Friday, a senior official said.
The surrendered cadres, including seven women, belonged to the Nagri and Sitanadi area committees and Mainpur Local Guerrilla Squad (LGS) under the Dhamtari-Gariaband-Nuapada division, said Amresh Mishra, Inspector General of Police, Raipur Range.
They turned themselves in before senior police officials here, citing disappointment with the hollow Maoist ideology and hardships of forest life, and said that they were also impressed by the state government’s surrender and rehabilitation policy, he said.
Five of the cadres surrendered with two Insas rifles, two Single Loading Rifles (SLRs), a carbine and a muzzle-loading gun, the official said. With this, 189 Maoists have surrendered in the state so far this year.
