Eitha decided to surrender as the police camps were being set up in Maoist affected areas in Bijapur district. He chose to surrender to Kothagudem police because the ‘Operation Cheyutha’ programme of the district police impressed him, said Superintendent of Police B Rohith Raju.

The SP appealed to the underground Maoist cadres to surrender to police through their friends, relatives or the local police. The police would ensure to provide them all the rehabilitation benefits offered by the State government to them, he added.
