Nine Maoists, including two women, hailing from Chhattisgarh surrendered before Odisha Police on Wednesday, a statement said.
The formal surrender took place at Boudh before Southern Range Inspector General of Police J N Pankaj and Boudh Superintendent of Police Raj Prasad.
The Maoists are residents of Muler village in Dantewada district of Chhattisgarh and were operational in the Kalahandi-Bolangir-Kandhamal region of Odisha.
They were disillusioned by high-handedness of senior Maoists, sexual harassment of female members, extortion through intimidation and collecting levy from ganja mafia, it added.
