Jhansi was the ‘area committee’ member of East Visakha Joint Division, and primarily worked in Andhra Odisha Border areas. Ill-health has been cited as the reason for their surrender. Having knowledge of nursing, she also served as part-time medic in the outfit. According to Jhansi, many other cadre members were suffering from ill-health and are being denied proper medical attention by the Maoists leadership. “A few more are likely to surrender in the coming days,” she said.

Three women Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres including a ‘divisional committee leader’ who carried a reward of INR 800,000 on her head surrendered before the Visakha Rural Police in Visakhapatnam District on June 1, reports The Times of India. Divisional committee leader Kudabala Lakshmi alias Sarita (29) of Chamagedda village in GK Veedhi mandal (administrative unit), ‘area committee member’ Bonangi Ramulamma alias Bharati alias Saroja of Labadampalli village in GK Veedhi mandal and Tambelu Tummu alias Vijaya (24) of Tartal village in G Madugula mandal had apparently decided to surrender due to severe oppression by the Security Forces (SFs), ill health and differences with senior leader and east division secretary Chalapathi.Visakha Rural Superintendent of Police (SP) Rahul Dev Sharma said Sarita joined the Maoists rank and file in 2000 as a Jana Natya Mandali (JNM) cadre. She was inducted into the Naxal [Left-Wing extremism, LWE] military formation in 2003 and worked as bodyguard to ‘central committee member’ Vadkapur Chandramouli. "She was a military trainer and the only woman selected for central military training from all the Naxal-affected states in 2008. She was sent to the Andhra-Odisha Border (AOB) as a central military instructor. She has trained almost all the squads in the AOB and was promoted as ‘deputy commander’ for the first central regional committee (CRC) company, the military wing of the naxals," the SP said. There are 30 cases registered against Sarita in Visakhapatnam District alone and an unknown number of cases in Odisha and Chhattisgarh. Sarita was also involved in eight exchanges of fire with SF personnel. "The cadre was demoralised with the attitude of senior leader Chalapathi, who did not have cordial relations with the party members. After senior leader Kudumula Venkata Rao alias Ravi and Azad died, there was a gap in leadership," Sarita said and claimed that many more cadres would surrender in the future due to differences with Chalapathi. Bonangi Ramulamma had worked in Korukonda and Pedabayalu and also in Chhattisgarh. There are around 23 Police cases registered against her in Visakhapatnam including at Darakonda outpost and Anakapalli Police Station. Ramulamma was also involved in eight exchanges of fire incidents and ambushes and carried a reward of INR 400,000 on her head, Sharma said. Vijaya, the third woman Maoist who surrendered, had fled the movement along with her husband few months ago and settled in a village on the Odisha border and she returned to her native village Tartal recently after the death of her husband, the SP said. After she learned of the surrender of a few woman Maoists including Lalita, she decided to follow suit, he said. Vijaya was involved in the abduction of Malkangiri collector Vineel Krishna in 2011 and carried a reward of INR 100,000 on her head.

Member of the east division committee and first central reorganisation committee (CRC) of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), Marri Veera alias Leevu, and six members of the party’s militia surrendered to Superintendent of Police (SP) Rahul Dev Sharma in Visakhapatnam District on October 3, reports The Hindu.

Andhra Pradesh (AP) Police, on November 2, informed the Hyderabad High Court that joint teams of AP and Odisha Police had to "fire in self-defence", which resulted in the death of 24 Maoists in Malkangiri District of Odisha area on October 24, reports New Indian Express on November 3. AP Police, which filed a reply in the High Court, in response to a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) submitted by Civil Liberties Committee, said that the incident of firing took place outside of the territory of AP, in Odisha. In the reply, Visakhapatnam Rural District Superintendent of Police (SP) Rahul Dev Sharma said that on October 24, they got information about the presence of Maoists in the AOB (Andhra-Odisha Border) and Police parties of Odisha and AP reached the forest area of 'Ramagurah'. "On seeing the police parties, the Maoists, who were armed with latest automatic weapons, opened fire on the police parties resulting in injuries to two Greyhound Commandos, and one of them died. Despite the police calling upon the Maoists to surrender, they did not pay heed to the warning and continued firing, constraining the police parties to retaliate by counter-firing in self-defence," the SP said. As a result of this firing incident, some Maoists died and some more escaped. The incident was reported at Chitrakonda Police Station of Malkangiri District and a case was registered, which is under investigation by the Odisha Police. On ascertaining from the Chitrakonda Police, it was revealed that they found 24 bodies at the scene of offence (13 men and 11 women), the SP added. Civil rights activists had earlier moved the high court and filed a PIL seeking a thorough judicial probe into the incident. Advocate V Raghunath, on behalf of Civil Liberties Committee, had filed the litigation and demanded registration of murder cases against the AP Police. Seeking dismissal of the petition, Sharma said in the reply, "Police have not violated the law and the incident of firing has taken place in Odisha and is being investigated into. The writ petition seems to have been filed by twisting the facts of a legitimate joint-combing exercise and the counter-firing in self-defence." The court posted the matter for further hearing to November 8.
