Ex-Maoist Devuji alleges police staged his surrender, vows legal fight
•Former top CPI (Maoist) commander Thippiri Tirupati alias Devuji claims Telangana police arrested him and others *before* their alleged surrender on February 24.
•Devuji asserts he did not surrender out of fear, but to pursue their ideology (Marxism, Leninism, Maoism) for public welfare within the legal framework.
•He alleges police arrested them during 'Operation Kagar' and then proposed a "surrender" instead of killing them, a proposal he initially resisted.
•Devuji vows to continue addressing people's problems openly through legal methods, maintaining his ideology, and denies joining the mainstream.
•Other members who "surrendered" on Feb 24 include Malla Raji Reddy, Bade Chokka Rao, and Nune Narasimha Reddy; Devuji clarified he is a Central Committee member.
