He took part in many operations of Maoists. He was vexed up with the outdated Maoist ideology and their suppressive approach towards adivasis. Following the counselling of police and CRPF to the family members of the Maoists, he decided to surrender to live a normal life.

The ‘Operation Cheyutha’ being implemented under the directions of the SP Dr. Vineeth G has been yielding good results. As part of it civic action programmes and community police were being conducted to the needs of adivasis, Pankaj said.

Many Maoists were trying to come out the party to live a normal life after they learnt about the counselling programme. The Maoists who want to surrender to lead a peaceful life could do so by contacting their nearest police station or through their family members, the ASP said.
