The National Investigation Agency (NIA) filed a supplementary charge sheet against 34 Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres for their alleged involvement in the killing of four Policemen before a special NIA court in Ranchi District of Jharkhand on April 30, reports Outlook. All the accused, who are the residents of Jharkhand and Bihar, have been charged with the relevant provisions of the Indian Penal Code, the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) and the Arms Act. The case pertains to the deadly attack on the Police patrolling party by the armed CPI-Maoist cadres in November 2019 at Lukuiya More in Latehar District of Jharkhand in which four Police personnel were killed and their arms and ammunition looted. The State Police had filed a charge sheet against six accused. The NIA re-registered the case in June 2020 and took over the investigation. Anal Da, the 'central committee (CC) member' and Secretary of Bihar-Jharkhand Special Area Committee (BJSAC) of CPI-Maoist, in collusion with other senior CPI-Maoist leaders, had conspired and planned the attack on the Police patrolling party at Lukuiya More. The recce for carrying out the attack at the targeted place was conducted for a week and final planning for execution was undertaken at Bearjangha forest. Top leaders of CPI-Maoist had planned the minutest details and constituted three teams to carry out the attack in a meticulous manner, said NIA official. The plan was executed under the leadership of Ravindra Ganjhu, the regional committee member of the CPI-Maoist, who had also enlisted the help of over ground workers and sympathizers of the organisation. The attack was carried out in order to loot the arms and ammunition and further strengthen their organisation and demoralised the Security Forces (SFs) operating in that area. During investigation, the NIA was successful in unearthing immovable properties worth INR 50, 00,000 of Ravindra Ganjhu in Latehar and Ranchi Districts in Jharkhand and the same were attached under sec 25 of UA(P) Act. Investigation leading to arrest of local contractor, Mrityunjay Kumar Singh exposed the unholy nexus between the CPI-Maoist and unscrupulous contractors who are aiding and abetting activities of such banned terrorist organisations in Naxal [Left Wing Extremism (LWE)] affected areas, added the NIA official.

In the draft charges filed before a special court in Mumbai, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has said that the accused in the Elgaar Parishad-cum-Bhima-Koregaon riots case had recruited students from various universities, including the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) and Tata Institute for Social Sciences (TISS) for terror activities, reports The Pioneer on August 24.

The other two new revelations are: the NIA – which had earlier said that the accused in the case had conspired to wage a war against the Government of India – has for the first time said that the accused had also conspired against the Maharashtra Government. “The accused no 1 to 10 along with the deceased accused number 16 (Father Stan Lourduswamy of Tamil Nadu who died in Mumbai while in custody on July 5, 2021) and absconding accused 17 to 22 being the active members of the banned terrorist organisation CPI (Maoists) and its frontal organisations had conspired wage a war against the Government of India and the State Government..,” one of the draft charges said, adding that they conspired to overthrow the governments at the centre and in the state (both BJP). One of the draft charges throws up the connection of Nepal and Manipur. “For the purpose ( of waging the war against the Government of India and the state government) conspired to demand and organise Rs 8 crore for annual supply of M-4 (sophisticated weapon) with 4,00,000 rounds and other arms and ammunition through a designated supplier from Nepal and Manipur and conspired to overawe the Government of India and State Government by means of criminal force, show of criminal force, thereby committed the offence punishable under section 121 A of the Indian Penal Code,” another charge in the draft charges said.

The Jharkhand Police arrested Prashant Bose aka Kishan Da aka Nirbhay aka Kajal aka Buddha aka Maneesh (80), carries a bounty of INR 10 million, is part of the National Investigation Agency (NIA)’s most wanted list, and has been an ideological fountainhead of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) for over five decades, from the Kandra area in Seraikela Kharsawan District of Jharkhand on November 12, reports Hindustan Times. According to reports citing the State Police, his wife, Sheela Marandi, was arrested along with him. Marandi is also a senior member of the Maoist cadre; the only woman in the ‘central committee, CC’, the foremost operational organization of the Maoists; and spent over a decade in jail in multiple cases in Odisha and Jharkhand before she was released from a Rourkela prison in 2016. Kishan Da, for four decades until a change in the Maoist leadership in 2018 -- when Nambala Keshava Rao aka Basavaraju took over from Muppala Lakshman Rao aka Ganapathy as ‘general secretary’ of the banned CPI-Maoist, Bose was largely considered the second most senior Maoist in the country. “When Basavaraju took over from Ganapathy, the idea was to make the leadership a little younger. So both Ganapathy and Prashant Bose took a back seat, but they are clearly the two biggest Maoists India has seen of the past three decades,” a senior intelligence officer said. NIA records describe Bose as five-foot-six, say that he “keeps a light beard to hide a twisted left cheek”, has “false teeth”, is “fond of tobacco”, and wears “bifocal specs”. The investigative agency also shows Bose as a member of the CPI-Maoist ‘politburo’, its highest political body, a member of the ‘central committee, CC’, a non-permanent member of the Central Military Commission (CMC), and secretary of the Eastern Regional Bureau (ERB), which oversees all Maoist activities in seven States including Jharkhand and West Bengal. “[He] reportedly stays in the Saranda forests (Jharkhand). Can be regarded as the No. 2 man in the CPI(Maoist),” the NIA records read.
