Ten hardcore Naxals have surrendered to Bijapur Superintendent of Police Prashant Agrawal apparently after being rather impressed by the Government’s rehabilitation policy, informed SP here on Tuesday.
The Naxals said that the leaders from Andhra Pradesh have discriminated against the Chhattisgarh Naxals. They narrated various incidents of violence against women, assault, anti-development approach, killing of innocents by the Naxal leaders. Agrawal said each of the ten surrendered Naxals have been given a sum of Rs10,000 and will be given benefits of Government schemes.
He appealed to the Naxals that they shun the part of violence and work toward Bastar’s development. According to the police sources, they surrendered after they were disillusioned and hurt by the approach of Naxal leaders in the camp. Those surrendered are Sonu Korsa, wife Bodhi Korsa, Joga Madkam, Budhri Madkam, Budhram Hapka, Arjun Telam, Kosa Korsa, Mahadev Gawde, Vijay Majji, Deva Midiyam.
