Chikkamagaluru: Naxal Ravindra likely to surrender in coming week: Sources
Chikkamagaluru: Naxal Ravindra, who has been active near Kigga in Sringeri taluk, is reportedly preparing to surrender to authorities. Ravindra, who had been in hiding for some time, reached out to members of the Citizens for Peace Forum and is expected to formally surrender within the next week.
This follows a series of surrenders in the state, including an event on January 8, where six Naxals gave up their arms in the presence of the Chief Minister in Bengaluru. Prior to this, there were rumors that Ravindra had fled to Kerala or Tamil Nadu, which had created uncertainty regarding his intentions.
Ravindra had been out of touch with the members of the Citizens for Peace Forum and the Naxal Rehabilitation Committee, delaying his surrender process. However, now that he has established contact, the process of his surrender is moving forward.
The surrender of Ravindra could mark a significant step in ending the two-decade-long Naxal movement in the state.
