Madkam was the Maoists’ Military Platoon No-30 member under the Kerlapal Area Committee of the outlawed Maoist movement and carried a reward of Rs 2 lakh on his head, the SP said.

Gadpa was the Dandakaranya Adivasi Kisan Mazdoor Sangthan’s (DAKMS) Bodkel panchayat president, the officer said, adding that he carried a bounty of Rs 1 lakh on his head.

They were involved in firing at police personnel, planting IED and several Maoist violence incidents, he added.

They were disappointed with the hollow Maoist ideology and impressed by the district police’s rehabilitation drive called ‘Puna Narkom’, he said.

Puna Narkom, a Gondi word, means a new dawn.
