New Delhi, February 27
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) searched several locations of suspects related to CPI (Maoist) in Chhattisgarh in political leader Birju Ram Taram’s murder case.
Six locations in district Mohla-Manpur-Ambagarh Chowki of Chhattisgarh, bordering Maharashtra, were extensively searched by NIA teams, which seized mobile phones, laptops, printer, hard disk, memory card, pen drive, along with other incriminating materials/documents from the premises of suspects.
The searches were conducted at residential premises of sympathisers and overground workers (OGWs) of the proscribed terrorist organisation as part of NIA’s investigation in the case.
The sympathisers/OGWs were suspected to be involved in harbouring, sheltering, and providing logistical assistance to armed cadres of CPI (Maoist) involved in the brutal killing of Birju Taram.
The BJP leader was shot dead with an INSAS rifle in October 2023 and the case was taken over by NIA on 8th March 2024. The agency has been cracking down around the country on the CPI (Maoist) terror network.
