The trio, hailing from Gudari area of Rayagada district, surrendered as they were disillusioned with Naxal activities and realised that they had been misguided, Deputy Inspector General of Police (South-West) Sanjeeb Panda said.

Trinath Srambutika (25), J Prakash Kimbaka (25) and Krishna Gudkaka (28) were tribals and had indulged in extremist activities in different parts of Rayagada, he said.

Their surrender came barely a month after hardcore Maoist Aakash laid down his arms on June 8.
