A Maoist couple, carrying a combined reward of Rs 16 lakh, surrendered to security personnel in Chhattisgarh's Kondagaon district, according to police sources. The couple cited their disillusionment with Maoist ideology as their motive for surrender.
The male Maoist, previously implicated in notorious attacks including the 2009 Rajnandgaon ambush that left 29 policemen dead, long evaded capture. Along with his wife, they carried a bounty of Rs 8 lakh each, underlining their high-profile status in Maoist circles.
Authorities in Narayanpur district also apprehended two Naxalites, seizing explosives in an anti-Naxal operation. These developments signal progress in Chhattisgarh's ongoing efforts to counter Maoist insurgency, aided by the state's surrender and rehabilitation policies.
