Koraput (Odisha): A resident of Malkangiri district, the 23-year-old surrendered ultra was the area committee member and a member of the protection team of Maoist leader Akkiraju Haragopal alias RK, the senior police officer said. Identified as Rame Madkami, she was a member of the Andhra Odisha Border Special Zonal Committee of the banned CPI (Maoist) outfit and was active in Malkangiri and Koraput districts, Koraput Superintendent of Police, Kukesh Kumar Bhamoo said.
She was also active in the bordering areas of Andhra Pradesh and was involved in a number of offences. The Odisha government had announced a cash reward of Rs four lakh on her head, the SP said.
"I had joined the banned outfit at the age of 16 in 2013. However, during the last seven years, I realised that the Maoists do nothing good for the weaker sections of society and are the real obstruction of the development. They are mostly involved in extortion and killing of innocent tribals on false charges of being police informers," Madkami said.
