The High Court of Kerala rejected the petitions filed by two persons hailing from Andhra Pradesh, who were arrested under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) for their alleged links with the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), reports indialegallive.com on April 14. Noting that the offences alleged against them were of a grave and serious nature, the Division Bench of Justice Alexander Thomas and Justice C.S. Sudha denied bail to the accused. The High Court, while taking in view the material which showed the alleged involvement of accused number 5 & 6 in the activities of CPI-Maoist, ruled that they cannot be granted bail. It further noted that if granted bail, there was a serious likelihood of the accused either remaining absconding or fleeing away from the long arm of the law, since the terrorist organisation had presence in different States. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) had registered a First Information Report (FIR) against the accused for offences punishable under Sections 18, 18A, 18B, 20, 38 & 39 of the UAPA and Section 120B of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

The National Investigation Agency (NIA), on November 23, conducted raids at 31 locations across Bihar, including the premises of four arrested Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) ‘commanders’, in a bid to expose and foil the conspiracy of the CPI-Maoist to revive and strengthen the proscribed organisation in the Magadh division of Bihar, reports daijiworld.com. An NIA spokesperson said that the raids, conducted at the premises of accused and suspected persons at 31 locations in the Aurangabad, Rohtash, Kaimur, Gaya, and Saran (Chapra) districts of Bihar, led the agency to unearth the involvement of top CPI-Maoist ‘commanders’ in the conspiracy to revive the outfit and its cadres in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. The NIA official said that during searches, a host of electronic or digital devices, including mobile phones, SIM cards, SD cards, and hard discs, along with incriminating documents, two country-made pistols, and INR 353,000 in cash, were seized. The searches were conducted as part of the NIA's investigation in two separate cases. The places where searches were conducted on November 23 were identified as the residential premises of four arrested accused persons who are ‘commanders’ of CPI-Maoist, in addition to 27 suspected Over Ground Workers (OGWs) or supporters or sympathisers of the outfit, the NIA official said. The case was initially registered at Tikari Police Station in Gaya on August 10, following the arrest of two accused, namely Pramod Mishra, ‘chief’ of the Eastern Regional Bureau of CPI-Maoist, and Anil Yadav, the 'sub-zonal commander’ of the outfit.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) charged eight people on December 1 with supplying deadly explosives, drones, and other equipment to the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) for attacking Security Forces (SFs) in the Naxal [Left Wing Extremism, LWE]-infested areas of the country, reports the Deccan Herald. All eight accused are in custody following their arrest under sections 120(B), 143, 147, 148 R/w 149 IPC, section 8 (1) of the TSPS Act, section 5 of the ES Act, and sections 10, 13, 18, and 20 of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) of 1967. While three of them, working as couriers for the CPI-Maoist outfit, were arrested while on their way to supply explosives, drones, and a lathe machine, the others were arrested subsequently. The NIA investigations have revealed that the explosive material recovered from the possession of the three arrested originally, namely Punem Nageswar Rao, Devanuri Mallikarjun Rao, and Vollepogula Umashankar, was supplied to them by accused Jannu Koti, Arepalli Srikanth, Tallapalli Arogyam, and Bontha Mahender. The latter four had procured the stuff from Sonaboina Kumaraswamy, who held a license for dealing in explosives. The cache that the three accused were carrying at the time of their arrest was intended for use in the manufacturing of country-made arms to be deployed against the SFs in the country’s Naxal-affected areas, as per the NIA investigations.
