On Thursday, police said, five Naxals, two of them allegedly involved in multiple attacks against security forces and carrying huge rewards on their heads, surrendered in Chhattisgarh's Dantewada district.
The rebels, including a woman, turned themselves in before police and CRPF officials, said district Superintendent of Police Abhishek Pallava.
They told officials that they were disappointed with the “hollow Naxal ideology” and the police's rehabilitation drive `Lon Varratu' prompted them to lay down arms, he said.
