The five are Budhu Cherka (48), Bheema Kowachi (40), Sonu Usendi (35), Guddi Dhruva (20) and Payko Mandavi (18), said Narayanpur Superintendent of Police Mohit Garg.
They were active Jan Militia members of the Maoist outfit, he added.

They will be given assistance according to the surrender and rehabilitation policy of the Chhattisgarh government, he said.
