Two hardcore Naxals surrendered before the police in Pedakurti village of insurgency hit Sukma district, a senior police officer said here on Tuesday.
Sukma district Superintendent of Police D Shravan informed that Madkam Bheema resident of Murkam and Madkam Kamlu of Kistaram village surrendered during a public grievance redressal camp held in Pedakurti village of the district.
Detailing about the Naxals, the SP informed that Madkam Bheema was President of DKMS (Dandkaranya Kisan Majdoor Sangh) and CNM (Chetna Natya Manch), both offshoots of banned left wing organization Communist Party of India (Maoist).
Bheema was given the responsibility to run the Maoist movement in four villages namely Murkam, Burkapal, Markagunda and Tonguda. Madkam Kamlu, the SP said, was an active member of Maoist Military Platoon number 3 and was involved in Tadmetala Massacre wherein 76 police jawans were killed. He was coordinating Naxal activities in the limits of Gadiras police station of the district. Shoddy treatment by senior Naxal leaders and discrimination among cadre forced them to shun the path of Naxal violence, the SP added.
