Kandhamal SP, Vinit Agarwal said the surrendered Maoist hails from Sukma district of Chhattisgarh and had joined the rebel camp after he was brain washed by senior Maoist leaders.
“After working in the rebel camp for quite some time, Rahul decided to leave the extremism when he realised bias of the leaders towards the cadres. The recently crackdown on Maoist activities through various operations by security personnel is also affecting the movement of the Maoists,” said Agarwal.
