Two Naxals carrying a bounty of Rs one lakh on their head along with seven armed militia members of the banned CPI (Maoists) today surrendered to the police citing harsh treatment from their leadership.
Muvvala Krishna alias Ganesh (25) and Sindri Nagesh alias Sanyasi Rao (26), both native of Chintapalle mandal, who have allegedly been involved in several crimes including murder and exchange of fire with security personnel, turned themselves in to police, Superintendent of Vizag Rural Police Rahul Dev Sharma told reporters here.
Others who surrendered were A Neelakantham (32), Korra Satyanarayana (30), P Kameswara Rao (30), K Kumara Swamy (23), V Nagaraju (22), T Madhava Rao (32) and V Subbanna (29), the officer said.
The ultras had joined the Naxal movement, but later they realised that there was a leadership crisis and work pressure and hence surrendered, said Sharma.
To a question, he said there were no reports of Maoists being equipped with or manufacturing rocket-propelled grenades.
