It is said that a racket is working behind the surrender of Naxalites wherein ordinary tribal people are being coerced to surrender as Naxals, only to be arrested. Later, half of the amount which is paid to these tribal people for having surrendered is distributed equally within the racket.

According to Amit Jogi, a huge industry is being run in Naxal infested areas wherein forcing tribals to surrender has turned into a business and anti-social elements are profiting from it thereby jeopardizing the lives of tribals.

Earlier, Salwa Judum (deploying tribal youths as special police officers) was also considered illegal as it was a violation of human rights. The Supreme court had even ordered its disbanding, having declared the militia illegal.
