Jamshedpur, April 11: In a major breakthrough against the outlawed outfit, CPI-Maoist, as many as 15 Naxals surrendered before the police in the West Singhbhum district headquarters at Chaibasa on Thursday afternoon, triggering a severe blow to the outfit’s leadership.
While top Naxal leaders like Misir Besra, Analda, Segen Angaria and Kande are trying to keep their existence intact by taking refuge in the dense jungle in the Kolhan and Porahat forest division of the district, over a dozen Naxals, several of them hardcore, surrendered Naxals before the police.
Police crackdown leads to mass surrender of Naxals
It is understood that so many Naxals had to resort to surrendering before the police as the police as well as the paramilitary forces continued carrying out a concerted effort to flush the rebels out from the latters’ hideout.
