JAMSHEDPUR, May 22 -- Even as the mass surrender saw 27 Maoists laying down their arms, speculations gained momentum that the two topmost surviving Maoist commanders -- Misir Besra and Asim Mondal -- have sneaked out of Saranda and reached "safe locations", people aware of the matter said on Thursday. Intelligence sources said that Besra and Mondal have succeeded in sneaking out of Saranda through Khunti and Purulia and parted ways from thereon. "Now around 16-17 Maoists are left in the Saranda region after Thursday's mass surrender. Security forces are making all efforts to trace Besra and Mondal. They are now optionless. Our operations will continue. Our surrender policy is very lucrative as surrendered Maoists are kept in open jail, rehabilitated fully, their families are taken care of and their children are endowed education. If they surrender elsewhere, they will miss out on these unique benefits and cases against them in Jharkhand will be pursued," Amit Renu, West Singhbhum SP told HT....
