A senior official said two extreme Naxals sought in many incidents of extremist violence surrendered to Bihar police and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in Gaya on Friday. The two Naxalites were named as Pradeep Singh Bhokta and Dinesh Bhuiyan. Senior Superintendent of Police Ashish Bharti knew Sandeep, a key member of the Naxals’ Bihar-Jharkhand Special Area Committee (BJSAC) who died after a protracted illness.
“Two Naxalites (Pradeep and Dinesh) surrendered after getting impressed by the action of security forces against Naxalites and the rehabilitation cum surrender policy of the Bihar government. Both of them were involved in many cases in the past. We have also asked Jharkhand Police for their criminal history,” SSP Bharti said.
The surrender of two Naxals led to the recovery of significant arms, ammunition and IEDs from the Chakrabandha area of the Gaya district, police said.
