Maoist Dy Commander surrenders

Visakhapatnam | January 29, 2006 9:46:57 PM IST

A Deputy Commander of Gurthedu Dalam of CPI (Maoists) today surrendered before the police at Narasipatnam in the district.

Speaking to UNI here, Officer on Special Duty Vineet Brijlal said G Nooka Raju alias Rajesh expressed a desire to join the mainstream.

Rajesh who belonged to Chapuratipalem Village of G K Veedi Mandal had been involved in various incidents, including the recent attack on Sileru Police Station and exchange of fire near Nerajartha village.

''The surrender of K Mahesh, a key member of Galikonda Dalam four days ago and government's assurance that no cases would be filed against those who gave themselves up besides the promise of a rehabilitation package seemed to have had the desired effect,'' Mr Brijlal said.

We expect more naxals to surrender in the district. This would include not just the tribal youth lured by the insurgents but some of their leaders as well,'' Mr Brijlal said.

The OSD said, apart from some immediate relief, Rajesh would stand to gain Rs 50,000, which would be given to him to help him lead a normal life.
