Kiran was involved in five major attacks on security forces along with several other incidents during his underground life.

“After seeing lot of developmental activities being undertaken by the Government of Odisha, he realized the futility of violent path of Naxalism and thus decided to join the mainstream of the society,” said DGP Abhay in a press release.
Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik had given a call to active Naxals and militia for surrendering and becoming part of mainstream by becoming part of the developmental initiatives.
This appeal of CM coupled with the good surrender and rehabilitation policy of Odisha Government has also influenced him to give up the path of violence and to join the mainstream.
