JOIN USSources in the police headquarters said, P Laxmi alias Sunita, who surrendered before the local police in southern Orissa tribal dominated district of Rayagara on Wednesday said during the interrogation that soon after she joined the left wing ultras in 2006 she had fallen in love with Raju, another local fellow cadre.
However, for the last few months, senior members of the Maoist groups had been pressuring her to sever her relationship with Raju and marry Satish, another cadre from Chhattisgarh .
“It has become extremely difficult for me to bear the pressure from senior cadres to leave Raju and marry the cadre from Chhattisgarh. Therefore, I decided to quit naxalism and return to the mainstream”, Laxmi, who was involved in more than one major naxal operation in Orissa including the daring attack on police establishments in Nayagarh town two years ago, told the police.
