Daily News and Analysis reports that in a recent assessment report prepared by the State intelligence department, 57 non-government organizations (NGO) in the State capital Mumbai have been short-listed after being found to fund and help the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist). The organisations reportedly arrange for medical treatment for Maoists, often in nursing homes in cities. They also help the extremists secure “legal aid and support” from Mumbai’s lawyers, police said. Intelligence sources said the organisations are “sympathetic” to the Maoists and that most of them are small groups managed by people of alleged dubious credentials. Police chief P. S. Pasricha said, “We are keeping close tabs on the activities of functionaries belonging to a section of the NGOs. A couple of recent arrests and subsequent interrogation of office-bearers of these groups have made us more aware of the security threat they pose.”
