Top Maoist leader with ₹25 lakh reward surrenders
Bada Vikash, the second-in-command in Jharkhand’s Naxal hierarchy, on Thursday surrendered before the police. Vikash carried a reward of ₹25 lakh on his head and was wanted by the police in at least 76 Naxal-related cases. He was reportedly influenced by the state government’s initiative to bring back Naxals in the mainstream and rehabilitate them under the surrender policy.
