Bihar was declared 'Naxal-free' following the surrender of influential Maoist leader Suresh Koda, also known as Mustakim, to local authorities. Koda, who had a substantial bounty on his head, surrendered in Munger district.
Police reports indicate that Koda was involved in over 60 legal cases, many under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA). His surrender included handing over three assault rifles, numerous rounds of ammunition, and cash.
Authorities are now working to provide rehabilitation benefits to Koda under the 'Atmasmarpan Sah Punarvaas Yojana'. This includes a financial package and vocational training to aid his reintegration into society, reflecting a significant step in dismantling Bihar's Naxal network.
