Naxal Maoist Insurgency

Shaken by encounter that killed Chalapathy, 3 Maoists surrender in Chhattisgarh

Three 'hardcore' Maoists, including two women, carrying a combined bounty of Rs 18 lakh, surrendered before police in Gariaband on Monday - the same district where 31 Maoists were gunned down in a single encounter in Bhalludiggi hills last month.
All three were involved in the 72-hour gunfight in Bhalludiggi on Jan 23 this year, in which 16 Maoists - including central committee member Jai Ram alias Chalpathy - were shot dead. Chalpathy is the most senior Maoist commander to be killed in Chhattisgarh.
Surrendered Maoist Dilip, the deputy commander of Nuapada Division Committee, has revealed that insurgents are terrified after the Bhalludigi encounter, especially small-time cadres.
Thirty-one Maoists were killed in the 72-hour gunfight (Jan 20-23), including central committee member Chalapati and division commander Satyam Gavde. The slain Naxals carried a total bounty of over Rs 3 crore. The battle was a massive operation aimed at eliminating Naxal presence in the region
