Sukki joined Puvarthi RPC Balala Sangham in 2018 and in June 2021 joined as a member of Puvarthi LOS. She has been working in the AOB cut-off area committee since 2021. Both naxals were involved in many acts of violence, informed Superintendent of Police B Rohith Raju.

Unga and Sukki left the Maoist party and surrendered before the police, realising that Maoists lost the tribal’s support, working with the aim of extortion, obstructing the development of the agency areas and terrorising the innocent tribal people, he said.

The SP appealed to Maoists who wanted to surrender and lead a normal life to contact their nearest police station or district officials, either through their family members or in person. The district police would ensure all kinds of rewards to them and rehabilitation offered by the government.
