The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Thursday seized a massive haul of arms and cash amounting to Rs 4.03 crore during raids at five locations in Bihar in connection with an ongoing Investigation in the CPI (Maoist) Magadh Zone revival case.

These searches were conducted in Gaya and Kaimur districts of Bihar as part of the operation, aimed at foiling the CPI (Maoist) conspiracy to revive and strengthen the banned outfit in Magadh Zone, said the NIA.

The searches covered the houses and office premises of three suspects in the conspiracy case, with NIA investigations finding the trio involved in providing funds and logistics support to leaders of CPI (Maoist) to revive their Naxal activities in the Magadh region.

The seizures included ten weapons of different bores, Rs 4.03 crore in cash, incriminating documents and various digital devices.

The case originated from the arrest of two cadres of CPI (Maoist) from Goh police station area of district Aurangabad on 7th August 2023. The accused, Rohit Rai and Pramod Yadav, were found in possession of arms and ammunition, as well as booklets pertaining to the CPI (Maoist) Magadh Zonal Sangathnic Committee.

The NIA, which took over the probe on September 26, 2023, registered a case against 20 accused persons. The agency, which chargesheeted Rohit and Pramod in February this year, found that the duo, along with their associates, were making attempts to revive the dying movement of CPI (Maoists) in the region and promote its violent anti-national activities.

According to NIA, a total of six accused have so far been arrested in the case. NIA had in March 2024 also filed a supplementary chargesheet against accused Anil Yadav alias Ankush and CPI (Maoist) Polit Bureau Member Parmod Mishra. In its second supplementary chargesheet in July, NIA had named another accused, Anil Yadav alias Chota Sandep. (ANI)
