At least 32 rebels of the banned Maoist Communist Centre have surrendered before the police in Bihar over the last 24 hours.
Police said they had also recovered arms and ammunition from the surrendered rebels, along with some literature promoting their ideologies.
Maoists, called Naxalites in common parlance, are left-wing extremists who believe in violent struggle for the establishment of peasant rule.
""We will keep in custody those who are wanted and have cases against. And a normal procedure would go for the rest who have surrendered," Amit Lodha, Superintendent of Police, Muzaffarpur.
Dipen Das, an area commander of the MCC said they were convinced by the police to lay down their arms.
