The National Investigation Agency (NIA) had advised Odisha Police to trace the money trail of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) and choke their funding to weaken their organisation, reports The Times of India on October 4. NIA’s advice came on the sidelines of a workshop on ‘capacity building of Odisha Police in probing terror-related cases’ held in Bhubaneswar city of Khordha District of the State. The NIA’s Director General (DG), Yogesh Chander Modi said, “Such militants, including terrorists and Maoists, cannot survive without money. Maoist activities in Odisha can be checked to a great extent if Police choke their funding. They (Maoists) will be practically finished”. According to a Police Official, Maoists in Odisha largely mop up money from ganja cultivation and extortion. Though thousands of acres of ganja plants are being destroyed every year and hundreds of cannabis smugglers arrested annually, the Police have so far failed to trace the main sources of funding to Maoists. Saying that the naxal [Left Wing Extremism, LWE] related violence is well under control in Odisha, the DG asked the State Police to refer sensitive Maoist-related and suspected terror cases to NIA for investigation. Further, the Director General of Police (DGP) of the State, B. K. Sharma said the NIA training workshop would help the State Police improve the quality of investigation into terror and naxal-related cases.

The Nallakunta Police had registered cases against Telangana Vidyarthi Vedika (TVV) president, Maddileti for his alleged links with leaders of the banned CPI-Maoist and helping them recruit cadres in Hyderabad District of the State, reports The Times of India on October 10. According to sources, the Jogulamba Gadwal District Police arrested two TVV members, Naganna and Balram, a few days back from whom they received incriminating information regarding the relation they had with the Maoists. “During interrogation, Naganna and Balram confessed to have supplied valuable materials to the Maoist leaders and TVV president Maddileti. In their confession, they also mentioned that Maddileti used to give money to the Maoist leaders and the former used to meet Maoist central committee members from the State,” said Nallakunta Inspector K. Muralidhar. Following which on October 8, a team of around 40 members which included officials from Telangana Intelligence’s anti-naxal [Left Wing Extremist, LWE] Special Intelligence Bureau (SIB), Hyderabad Task Force and Jogulamba Gadwal District Police conducted a raid in the residence of Maddileti in Adikmet town of the District. However, Maddileti was not at this residence at the time. While declaring that TVV is a frontal organisation of banned CPI-Maoist, sources in Hyderabad Police said that they recovered a letter written by CPI-Maoist Telangana Secretary Haribhushan to Chaitanya Educational Institutions Chairman B. S. Rao and several other letters besides some naxal literature, a laptop, memory card, pen drives and other gadgets. The Police sources said, “Maddileti has been working as an over ground worker (OGW) of CPI-Maoist by using TVV as its front organisation. He has been organising different events in support of Maoists. Specifically with reference to the letter addressed to B.S. Rao by Haribhushan, it has to be verified whether it was written directly by Haribhushan or Maddileti written at his behest’’. Although the Nallakunta Police has registered cases against Maddileti, it is learnt that he is still absconding.

Investigation of the cases related to these groups have revealed that they also resort to extortion to supplement their income". The NIA official added that the funds so procured by the extremist groups are used to facilitate training and purchase arms and ammunition for their cadres. "Investigations have also revealed that the Naxals invest in lands, construction to safeguard and multiply their money," he added.

A Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) imposter was arrested by the Security Forces (SFs) for allegedly extorting money in the name of Naxal [Left Wing Extremism, LWE] organisations from an area in Gaya District of Bihar on October 16, reports ANI. The imposter, identified as Vikas Kumar, was arrested by a team of the Rampur Police Station along with Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and CoBRA (Commando Battalion for Resolute Action). The Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) of the District, Rajeev Mishra said, "We had received the info that people working with Naxals were coming to take levy from a contractor. A CRPF, CoBRA and Rampur Police team carried out the operation in which the imposter was arrested, and Rs 1.98 lakh was recovered from him, as against the amount of Rs 2.10 lakh given by the contractor". The SSP also said that "After the arrest, it came to notice that one person named Mandeep, who is a ‘sub-Zonal commander’, had been extorting money by forming his own chain of command separate from the Naxals. The prime Naxal organisation had no idea of the levy being taken from contractors or businessmen". The SSP further added that the parallel gang which was involved in the business of extorting money from businessmen had been active in the region since long.
