Communists giving up?
Wanted Maoist zonal commander Maharaj Pramanik on Friday surrendered before Jharkhand Police in Ranchi.
According to police officials, Pramanik is accused in more than 120 cases of loot, extortion, murder and levy collection lodged in different police stations of Ranchi, Khunti, Chaibasa, Saraikela-Kharsawan and other districts of Jharkhand.
Police said that he was one of the key members of the Chandil-Bundu zone of the extremist outfit and also served as their key spokesperson for several years.
“Surrender of Maoist Zonal Commander Maharaj Pramanik is really a great achievement for Jharkhand Police. He has admitted that there is no ideology left with the Maoist leaders and their activities are limited only to levy collection and making more and more money by misleading the villagers,” said Homkar.
