Two Maoists surrendered before police here today, said a senior official.
Gemmeli Kishore alias Chittibabu (22) and Sindri Shobhan (37) surrendered before Superintendent of Police Rahul Dev Sharma.
Kishore, an area committee member of Galikonda Area Committee of Maoists, was carrying a reward of Rs four lakh on his head while Shobhan was carrying a reward of Rs one lakh on his head, Sharma told reporters.
Both Kishore and Shobhan were natives of Koyyuru area in Vizag Agency.
Sharma said that Kishore was involved in an ambush near Palagarevu under Odisha border in 2014 in which three BSF personnels were killed.
Kishore also acted as the bodyguard of top Maoist leader Ramachandra Reddy alias Chalapathi, police said.
He underwent a surgery with police's help after his comrades didn't offer him help for medical treatment, police added.
Shobhan was involved in more than five incidents of Maoist violence, police said.
Both surrendered as they were fed up with the Naxal ideology, police claimed.
