Boudh Police Announces Rs 8.40 Crore Bounty on 18 Maoists

In a decisive move against extremist activities, Boudh Police has announced a bounty of Rs 8.40 crore for information leading to the capture of 18 Maoists operating in Odisha.

Posters featuring the names, photographs, and individual reward amounts of the wanted Maoists have been distributed across the interior regions of the district.

Authorities have assured that informants can share details confidentially through the dedicated contact number 9437673839.

The campaign not only seeks to weaken Maoist networks but also encourages voluntary surrender.

Posters highlight rehabilitation packages, including financial assistance and social reintegration measures, for those who abandon violence.

Officials emphasised that the initiative reflects a dual strategy—tightening the crackdown on extremist groups while offering pathways for rehabilitation.

The police believe this approach will help restore peace and stability in affected areas.
