On September 9, two Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres, identified as Mangu Nuppo and Hadma Nuppo, surrendered before the Superintendent of Police (SP) Anjaneya Varshney in Bijapur District of Chhattisgarh, reports etvbharat.com. Police said that Mangu Nuppo had joined ‘Bal Sangham’, the children's wing of the Maoists, in 2009 and became a part of the CPI-Maoist organisation. In 2011, he became a part of the supply core of the Maoists and used to collect rice and pulses. He also started the work of mobilising the villagers to recruit them into the Maoist team. A warrant is pending against Mangu. The second Maoist, Hadma has been associated with the CPI-Maoist organisation since 2016. He was earlier also a member of ‘Bal Sangham’, and later on he became a member of Chetna Natya Mandali (CNM), the cultural wing of the Maoists, in 2019. Both Mangu and Hadma, troubled by the Maoist ideology of discriminatory behaviour and harassment, decided to leave path of violence.
