New Delhi, June 21
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) raided three locations in Hazaribagh and Ranchi districts of Jharkhand in the case related to the 2020 gang attack at the Tetariyakhad coal mine.
The NIA stated that the premises raided were connected with associates of the notorious Aman Sahu gang in Jharkhand.
During the raid, the agency seized a digital device, a Fortuner vehicle, and some incriminating materials. Earlier, the NIA had filed chargesheets against 24 accused in the case related to an attack at the Tetariyakhand coal mine in Jharkhand’s Latehar district by members of the Sujit Sinha, Aman Sahu, and other gangs.
The attack took place in December 2020 as part of a criminal conspiracy hatched by the gangs to extort money and disrupt government work.
NIA, which took over the investigation in March 2021, had in February this year arrested one Shankar Yadav, a key aide of Aman Sahu, following a seizure of Rs. 1,30,000 (Rs. one crore and thirty lakh) from him during searches at five locations in Bihar.
