Police have questioned them about the whereabouts of other wanted Maoists. Intelligence officers will share the profiles with the relevant district officers, who will then monitor the activities of the surrendered Naxals.Occasionally, the Naxals who have joined the mainstream will have to appear before a designated officer. This officer will be responsible not only for surveillance, but also for providing any assistance the former rebels may require, including helping them to lead a dignified life and find suitable employment. They will be required to sign an undertaking with the district authorities to behave appropriately. Both the intelligence services and the district police will monitor their activities and the persons with whom they are in touch.Those who have surrendered are not expected to have any contact with individuals who are still actively involved in Naxalism. “In other states, surrendered Naxals, especially important leaders, are kept in a police-provided facility for at least six months. In Telangana, however, after just a couple of weeks, they are allowed to lead independent lives,” sources said. Mallogula Venugopal alias Sonu, who surrendered to the Maharashtra police, is still under police control from Oct 2025 till recently, whereas Chandranna alias Prasad Rao, has been granted financial aid and is moving freely.Sources said that Devji, Raji Reddy and Damodar are going to be provided with police security for a few months once they are allowed to lead independent lives. The police are trying to find out where the former Maoist general secretary, Muppala Lakshmana Rao, also known as Ganapathi, is.
