Naxal surrenders before police

Ongole, Andhra Pradesh, Aug 8 (UNI) One member of 'VIRASAM' (Revolutionary Writers Association) and Human Rights Forum, naxal frontal organisations, today surrendered before Prakasham District Superintendent of Police Vinit Brijlan.

In a release here, Mr Brijlan said M Janardhan, who had attended the CPI (Maoist) meeting in Mumbai, Guttikonda Bilam and Hyderabad, during the 'Peace Talks' between the naxals and state government in 2004, surrendered before the police due to ill health and disillusionment with the extremist ideology.

Janardhan, who was carrying a reward of Rs 20,000 on his head, was absconding since the naxal attack on former SP Mahesh Chandra Laddha.
