A woman Maoist, carrying a bounty of Rs 2 lakh on her head, surrendered before police on Tuesday, expressing her desire to return to the social mainstream. Adme Madkami (22), who had joined the outlawed CPI(Maoist) organisation around five years ago, surrendered before Malkangiri SP Rishikesh D Khilari.
Once an active member of the Maoists Darva Divison, Madkami was wanted by the police in six cases in the district, including three involving murder of civilians.
According to the SP, Madkami claimed to have realised the futility of violence, and wanted to quit the banned organisation. She was also disappointed with the treatment meted out to the women cadres by the Maoist leaders.
Madkami, a resident of Malkangiri’s Mathili area, also said the Maoist leaders do nothing for the development and wellbeing of the downtrodden sections, the SP told mediapersons.
Madkami would be provided financial assistance as per the surrender and rehabilitation scheme of the State Government, the SP added.
