Raipur: Three Naxals, allegedly involved in the killing of a local journalist in 2013, surrendered before security forces in Chhattisgarh's insurgency-hit Bijapur district on Tuesday, an official said.
The cadres, who were active in Basaguda-Jagargunda area committee of Maoists, turned themselves in before CRPF and police officials, citing disappointment with the "hollow" Maoist ideology and atrocities committed by senior cadres of the outlawed outfit, the official said.
The surrendered ultras were identified as Alam Bamo (24), deputy commander of the action team of Maoists, Modiam Sundar (27), a member of the same squad, and Madam Motu (28), a member of the supply team, he said.
