NIA files case against two CPI (Maoist) extremists

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed a chargesheet against two persons accused of being members of the banned Communist Party of India (Maoist).

The accused have been identified as Vijay Kumar Arya and Umesh Chaudhary, residents of Bihar. They were earlier arrested by the local police, which had allegedly seized from them “levy” receipts and electronic devices containing incriminating material.

Subsequently, a case was registered against them at the Rohtas police station. The NIA took over the probe in April this year. Various provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act were invoked.
