The National Investigation Agency (NIA) could soon file its
maiden case against Communist
Party of India-Maoist
(CPI-Maoist)
chief Muppalla Lakshman
Rao alias Ganpathy,
reports The Times of
India. The agency
is likely to book Ganpathy
in the case against Central
Technical Committee member
Sadanala Ramkrishna, who
was arrested from Kolkata
on February 29. NIA claims
it has found evidence
of Ganpathy's involvement
in the arms manufacturing
conspiracy through independent
witnesses, who were once
part of the Maoist Central
Committee (CC). In most
Naxal violence cases,
where Ganpathy has been
named as an accused, it
has been because of him
being the chief of the
banned organization.
Meanwhile, the NIA has decided to move a Mumbai court in order
to take over investigations
of four suspected Maoists,
who were arrested from
Mumbai on March 1 on connection
with fabricating spares
of rocket launchers for
Maoists, reports Mumbai
