In the wake of the COVID-19 surge in Chhattisgarh's Naxal hotbeds, two members of the Uttar Bastar Maoist organization surrendered to the police on Thursday after they were tested positive for the virus. The incident came to light after Arjun Tati and Lakshmi Padda, a Maoist couple came in contact with the police at Kamtera Camp in Kanker requesting help from the security forces after taking ill.
After the duo laid down their arms and promised to leave the Maoist organization, they were taken to the Kanker COVID Hospital for treatment
