Guwahati: In a significant development, Aluri Usha Rani also known as Vijayakka, Pochakka, and Bhanu Didi, a leading Naxalite turned herself in to the Telangana Police on Saturday.
According to a news release from the Telangana Director General of Police, Rani (53), a native of Tenali in the Guntur district, was a member of the Divisional Committee of the North Sub Zonal Bureau of the Danda Karanya Special Zonal Committee.
Rani gave up, citing unmet expectations and health issues. She joined the group with high hopes for bringing about social change and actively participated in military conflicts for more than three decades. According to a press release, she was unable to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
“As her aspirations were not fulfilled and there was no hope of realizing her dreams through protracted armed struggle, she decided to surrender citing health problems,” said the statement.
“As her health is not supporting her to continue in CPI (Maoist) organization, in April 2019, She requested Ramakrishna @Kamlesh, SZCM, East Bastar In-charge to provide her treatment and also expressed her desire to surrender to health issues,” it added.
The identical plan was sent to CCMs, who agreed to have her turn herself in after 2.5 years, or in August 2022.
She surrendered for a variety of reasons, one of which is that she wanted to live in peace with her family.
Rani was allegedly involved in a number of violent incidents in both Telangana and Chhattisgarh, according to the police. She admitted to participating in 14 offences in total while living as a Naxal in secret in the two States, including five attacks on security forces, three firefights with police, three cases of building explosion in both public and private spaces, an abduction case, and two assault cases.
On this occasion, DGP Mahender Reddy urged the Naxal cadre to reintegrate and contribute to the development of the country through positive engagement.
She will receive complete rehabilitation from the State government, and Mahender Reddy stated that she will also receive cash in the amount of Rs 50,000 to cover her urgent expenditures.
