The Citizens’ Initiative for Peace criticized the Karnataka government for neglecting surrendered naxals who sought mainstream rehabilitation. On January 8, 2025, eight naxals, including Kottehole Ravi aka Ravindra, surrendered based on government assurances of case withdrawal and rehabilitation. Ravindra is currently in NIA custody in Kerala’s Thrissur jail, facing psychological pressure and hunger strike, while petitions for his transfer to Karnataka remain unaddressed.
