33 Naxalites surrender before security forces in Chhattisgarh

As many as 33 Naxalites, three of them carrying a cumulative bounty of Rs 5 lakh, surrendered before security forces in Chhattisgarh’s Bijapur district on Saturday, police said.

The Naxalites turned themselves in before senior officials from the police and



Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), citing disappointment with atrocities committed by Maoists on tribals and “hollow” Maoist ideology, Bijapur Superintendent of Police Jitendra Yadav said.

They were also impressed by the police’s rehabilitation policy, he said.
