Mumbai, Oct 14 (UNI) A Naxal couple carrying a reward of total Rs 10 lakh on their heads have surrendered before Mahrashtra's Gadchiroli Police and CRPF, officials said on Monday.
The arrested couple told the Gadchiroli police that some of the major reasons for their surrender was that married party members could not live an independent married life and senior Maoists instructed them to collect money for the movement, but they actually used that money for themselves and not for people's development.
The arrested naxals have been identified as Sukma (Chhattisgarh) resident, Varun Raja Muchaki alias Unga alias Maniram alias Rengu and his wife Roshani Vijya Wachami, resident of Bhamragad, Gadchiroli.
Muchaki was recruited in the Konta area in 2015. A total of 15 crimes have been registered against him, out of which 10 are cases of encounters.
The Maharashtra government had announced a reward of Rs eight lakh on Muchaki.
Muchaki's wife Roshani was recruited at Rahi LOS in 2015 and has been working with the naxals till date.
A total of 23 crimes have been registered against her, including 13 cases of encounters.
The Maharashtra government had announced a reward of Rs two lakh on Roshani.
