Ten Naxalites, including four allegedly involved in the 2018 Nilawaya attack in which a Doordarshan cameraman lost his life, surrendered in Chhattisgarh's Dantewada district on Tuesday, police said.
The cadres, who were active in the Malangir Area Committee of the Maoists, gave themselves up before police and CRPF officials, Dantewada Superintendent of Police Abhishek Pallava said.
They said they were impressed by the police's surrender-cum-rehabilitation campaign 'Lon Varratu' (Homecoming) and disappointed with the Maoist ideology. Of the 10, five collectively carried a reward of `10 lakh on their heads, the officer said.
