Hyderabad: Having reportedly lost faith in the Maoist ideology, two members of the banned Communist Party of India (Maoist) – Tikka Sushmita and Madakam Dool – surrendered before Warangal police commissioner Abhishek Mohanty on Thursday.
Sushmita and Dool were drawn to the Maoist party due to their family members’ influence, said the police. The couple left the organisation after “being attracted to the state government’s rehabilitation policy”, according to the police.
Sushmita, a native of Hasanparthy mandal in Hanamkonda district, was a student leader, and joined the Maoist party or CPI(Maoist) in 2016. Dool, a native of Sukma district in Chhattisgarh, joined the party in 2015.
The ex-Maoist couple got married in March 2020, and worked in various roles in the party.
A cash reward of Rs 4 lakh each was handed over to them in the form of a bank draft.
