RANCHI: As many as 27 Maoists surrendered before Jharkhand Police on Thursday in the presence of DGP Tadasha Mishra, officials said.
The ultras, associated with the banned CPI (Maoist), laid down arms before senior officials of the Jharkhand Police, Jharkhand Jaguar and the CRPF, among other security units.
“Twenty-seven Maoists, wanted in a large number of cases, surrendered before the police under ‘Operation Navjeevan’. A total of 22 Maoists were killed, 44 arrested and 29 surrendered in 2026. We appeal to the remaining few to return to the mainstream,” a senior police officer said.
DGP Tadasha Mishra said security forces would continue their joint operations to eliminate extremism from the state and assured rehabilitation support to the surrendered cadres.
She said the 27 Maoists who surrendered on Thursday would be rehabilitated with full support from the administration.
“We appeal to those who have not surrendered to renounce the path of violence and come to the mainstream,” CRPF IG Saket Singh said.
