The joint operation covers dense forest areas and border villages in Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal, and Maharashtra. CRPF personnel, CoBRA commandos, and state police teams are working together in the search mission.

Officials have increased surveillance in sensitive locations and set up checkpoints along interstate borders. Security teams are carrying out extensive searches to stop any possible escape routes.

Authorities believe the operation could deal a major blow to Maoist activities in the region. Security forces combing for Maoist leaders continue to monitor suspected hideouts and gather intelligence as the search enters a crucial phase.

Police said Lacchu originally belongs to Bijapur district in Chhattisgarh. He moved to Jharkhand in 2014 along with a group of Maoist members. Over the years, security forces killed or arrested several members of that group during operations.

The Jharkhand Maoists surrender also reflects growing internal disagreements within the camp of senior Maoist leader Misir Besra. Officials say rising pressure from security forces and internal conflicts pushed several cadres to abandon violence.

Authorities added that the rebels chose to return to the mainstream after seeing many Maoists surrender in different states. Government rehabilitation schemes also encouraged them to give up arms.

Security forces continue search operations in the Saranda forest area of West Singhbhum, where some Maoist leaders are believed to be hiding.
