Sukma. Maoist Jailal, carrying a bounty of Rs 25 lakh, and his wife Bheeme, carrying a bounty of Rs 8 lakh, surrendered before Sukma and Andhra Pradesh police. Both were involved in the district's biggest Naxalite incidents, Tadmetla (in which 76 CRPF jawans were martyred) and Jhiram Ghati attack (in which several top Congress leaders were killed). 
Darbha division in-charge Jailal alias Dirdo Vijja and his wife, Malanger area committee in-charge Madvi Gangi alias Bheeme, surrendered before SP Amit Bardar and ASP (Naxal) Sukma Rohit Shah at Alluri Sitarama Raju district headquarters in border Andhra Pradesh on Sunday.

Officials stated that the ongoing anti-Naxal operations in Sukma and the establishment of new camps have increased pressure on the organization, leaving the two men with the only option of rehabilitation.
