  • Jorige Nagaraju alias Kamalesh and his wife Medaka Jyoteeswari alias Aruna surrendered before DGP Harish Kumar Gupta in Vijayawada on July 26 after more than three decades in CPI (Maoist) ranks.
  • Under Andhra Pradesh’s Surrender and Rehabilitation Policy, the couple received ₹20,000 each in immediate relief with promises of housing sites and employment opportunities.
  • DGP Harish Kumar Gupta attributed the surrender to ideological disillusionment, dwindling public support and internal losses among senior Maoist cadres.
  • Alluri Sitarama Raju district police unearthed three armed dumps between July 23 and 25, recovering rifles, ammunition, walkie-talkies and other matériel.
  • The latest high-profile defection exemplifies the impact of coordinated security operations and welfare incentives in weakening Left-Wing Extremism across the Red Corridor.
