New Delhi, Aug 2 (UNI) The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has charge sheeted five Maoist operatives in the February 2024 Chhattisgarh arms recovery case.
An official of NIA today said Anish Khan alias Annu Khan, Anil Kumar Netam, Jaysing Hidko, Raghvueer Jain and Shailendra Kumar Baghel alias Golu identified as Over Ground Workers (OGWs) including one supplier, for the banned terror organisation, CPI (Maoist) were charge sheeted.
All of them were active cadres of the Kuyemari Area Committee of the terror outfit.
The NIA, in its supplementary charge sheet filed before the Special Court, Jagdalpur, has charged them under various sections of IPC, Explosives Substances Act and UA(P) Act.
The counter-terror agency had earlier, in August 2024, charge sheeted two armed cadres of CPI (Maoist) – Vinod Awalam and Ashu Korsa.
NIA investigations revealed that Anish Khan had supplied explosives to CPI (Maoist) cadres in the forest area of village Aalparas, which were later recovered. The other accused charge sheeted today had provided shelter and logistics support to the Maoist cadres for carrying out a fatal attack on security forces around Mujalgondi village in Kanker district.
Investigations in the case are continuing as part of NIA’s efforts to scuttle the Maoist outfit’s terror agenda, the official said.
