She initially worked in the Madanbada area and later became active in the Marh region under the Rowghat area committee, working with several Maoist cadres.Rajnandgaon range IG Balaji Rao said she surrendered after becoming disillusioned with Maoist ideology, internal differences, neglect within the organisation and atrocities committed against villagers and tribal residents.
