MAGWAY DIVISION – An official of Pakokku District Battalion 3 said that a junta policeman from Pauk Police Station entered the legal fold with weapons.
21 year old policeman Sithu Bo reportedly surrendered to Pakokku District Battalion 3 with a BA94 weapon, two cartridges and thirty 9mm bullets.
“This is the first (junta troop) who surrendered to us. He contacted Battalion 3 so we went to Pauk to collect him with the help of allied forces,” said the official from Battalion 3.
The policeman is said to have surrendered on January 16 but the news was made public only now due to security concerns.
After investigations, the policeman was awarded three million Kyats and sent to a safe place.
Pakokku District Battalion 3 informed that the people who are made to work under the junta council for various reasons are welcomed and urged then to swiftly contact and join with the revolutionary forces.
