nTwo Naxalites with a reward money of Rs 8 lakh each on their head surrendered on Tuesday to security forces in Chhattisgarh's Kondagaon district.
Kondagaon Superintendent of Police Siddharth Tiwari said the two were Nagesh alias Budhru Benjam, a Deputy Platoon Commander of the Maoist self-styled Military Company No 6, while Urmila alias Sukmati Usendi was a Section member of the same squad.
They were involved in attacks on security forces since 2016 in Narayanpur, Bijapur, Dantewada, Kondagaon and Kanker districts of Bastar division, the officer said.
Both said they felt let down by the "hollow Naxalite ideology", he said.
They will get Rs 10,000 each and other facilities under the government’s surrender and rehabilitation policy, Tiwari added.
