With this surrender, the Chatra police tasted their second big success in as many months with Mukesh Ganjhu, who was second in command of TSPC, surrendering a few months ago.

Raghuvansh and Lakshman Ganjhu after the surrender regretted joining the outfit. The former appealed to other extremists to surrender keeping the future of their families in mind.

"Surrender is the only way for atonement against the misdeeds done by us," added the duo.

Lakshman, a native of Saktitand village under Lawalong police station, carried a reward of Rs.1 lakh on his head. The duo was also wanted by police of other districts including Latehar and Ranchi in cases of murder, extrotion and encounter with police.

Raghuvansh, a resident of Aasediri village under Kunda police station, surrendered with a rifle, 1-magazine and 200 live bullets. Lakshman handed over a self loading rifle, 145 live bullets, 3 magazines and a uniform to police officials.

After the surrender, deputy commissioner Jha said both surrendered due to the surrender and rehabilitation policy of the state government. He said they will get all the benefits under this policy.

SP Rishav Kumar Jha asserted that taking up arms is not the solution of any problem. He said whether TSPC or Maoists or any other outfit, they lacked ideology and involved in exploitation and other criminal activities.

Other officials present were commandant of CRPF 190 battalion, Vijay Kumar and ASP(operations) Nigam Prasad.
