A notorious female Naxalite
in Chhattisgarh's Sukma district
has surrendered. Active within the Naxal organization under a bounty of one lakh, she came forward to the police and CRPF. Previously, she was involved in Naxal operations across Golappalli, Maraiguda, Kistaram, and Chintagufa regions.
Identified as Padam Some, at 29, she held a leadership position within the Naxalite unit. Her proactive participation in various Naxalite incidents, including in Chintalnar, Maraiguda, and Chintagufa, was well-documented. The state’s ‘Naxal Eradication and Rehabilitation Policy’ played a pivotal role, alongside initiatives by Sukma police, aiding her decision to surrender.
This policy aims to encourage Naxal participants to reintegrate into mainstream society. Surrendered Naxalites benefit from both rehabilitation support and financial assistance, designed to ease their transition back to a peaceful community life.

Disenchanted by expanding police influence and persistent Naxalite violence, Padam Some chose to part ways with the Naxalite movement.

The surrender took place at Sukma’s Superintendent of Police office, with Inspector Avilash Tandon, DRG in-charge, and Deputy Inspector General Range Sukma, Niranjan Varad, present during the event.
