The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday said its searches across five districts of Uttar Pradesh were to thwart an alleged attempt by the leaders and members of the banned CPI (Maoist) to revive its operations.
The searches were carried out in Prayagraj, Chandauli, Varanasi, Deoria and Azamgarh on Tuesday, said the agency.
“Several digital devices, including mobile phones, laptops, pen drives, compact discs and memory cards, were seized during the raids, along with SIM cards, naxal literature, books, pamphlets, pocket diaries, money receipt books and other incriminating documents,” it said.
