A Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadre, who was under treatment after allegedly getting injured in a suspected wild elephant attack, surrendered to Police in Kannur District of Kerala on April 7, reports onmanorama.com. Suresh, who hails from Chikkamagaluru, Karnataka, got injured while he and others were passing through a forest region of Kannur. Suresh, currently in the custody of Kerala Police, met the media and said that he was thinking about surrendering for a long time. "I was a Maoist for the past 23 years and wanted to surrender for a long time. I have surrendered now. I was unable to do anything of consequence after becoming a Maoist. We could not make any impact in Kerala, Tamil Nadu or Karnataka even after many years," said Suresh, seated in a wheelchair.
