‘Mom is no more; you were on the run when I was born; I want to see you,’ daughter’s emotional appeal makes Naxalite surrender
Chandigarh, March 2
A sentimental appeal made by the daughter of a Naxalite Zonal Commander, Suresh Singh Munda, made him surrender before CRPF IG, on Tuesday. Suresh had been active in forests of Kolhan-Podahat in Jharkhand for quite some time now, a Hindi newspaper reported.
A bounty of ten lakh rupees was upon Suresh. He said that he used to get letters from his daughter repeatedly in forest and she insisted that I should lead life of a common man. “Baba, when I was born, you were on the run. Maa too left for her heavenly abode, when I was too young. I want to see you. Please do surrender,” Suresh quoted one of the letters.
The daughter while talking to Dainik Bhaskar said, “Even though my father is a Naxalite, I will be a Police officer in future. I want to bring all those people into mainstream who got deviated from correct path due to whatsoever reasons”
Suresh on the whole event said, “Today I am surrendering and my daughter has tears in her eyes.”
Another Naxalite Lodra Lohara, with two lakh bounty upon him, also surrendered along Suresh.
