Three Naxalites, two of them carrying cash rewards on their heads, surrendered to the police in Sukma district of Chhattisgarh, an official said on Wednesday. The rebels told the police they were quitting the path of insurgency due to violence committed by Maoists against local tribals and discrimination within their ranks. “Impressed by the surrender and rehabilitation policy of the Chhattisgarh government, three ultras surrendered on August 17,” Sukma Superintendent of Police Sunil Sharma said. They were Sitanadi LOS (local organization squad) member Ramesh Madkam alias Jeevan, CNM (Chetna Natya Manch) ''commander'' Kawasi Joga and militia platoon member Doodhi Bhima. Madkam and Joga carried a reward of Rs 1 lakh each on their heads. As per the government policy, Rs 10,000 was given to each of the Naxalites.
