A key female ultra, Dudhi Bhime, along with her associates Vetti Raja, Vanjam Ganga, Dudhi Pojja, and Kawasi Bhima, surrendered to the police in Sukma. They were involved in numerous violent activities, including assaults on police teams.
In another operation, the District Reserve Guard, 208th COBRA battalion, and local police apprehended Veko Hidma and Madkam Nanda near Potkalli village.
