Ex-woman Naxal commander-turned-cop votes for first time in Chhattisgarh polls

IndiaTimes Tuesday, 7 November 2023
Voters standing in a queue outside a polling station in Chhattisgarh's Narayanpur constituency waited patiently for their turn and when a woman police constable walked out after exercising her franchise, they didn't take note as there was no apparent reason to do so. ​​For Sumitra Sahu, 34, this was the first occasion in her life, which took a turn for the better in December 2018, to participate in the poll process as a voter. Before December five years ago, Sahu donned brownish-green fatigue and carried a gun as an active commander of the Aamdai Area Committee of Maoists in Narayanpur.
