Former Maoist with ₹6-crore bounty now trains villagers in laws he once opposed. Mallojula Venugopal, a former Maoist who surrendered a year ago, is now relearning PESA and Forest Rights Act he once opposed and training villagers to benefit from them. Venugopal used to have ₹6-crore reward on his head and recalled his fellow comrades calling him a “traitor” after his surrender. “This one year has proved how right I was,” he said.
