NIA chargesheets top CPI (Maoist) leader for waging war against India
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) chargesheeted a senior leader of the banned Communist Party of India (Maoist) in connection with an anti-India conspiracy case. The supplementary chargesheet was filed before the NIA Special Court in Hyderabad, naming C.P. Moideen alias Girish, under various provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967, and the Indian Penal Code (IPC). According to the NIA, Moideen was actively involved in the Maoist conspiracy to wage war against the Government of India. Evidence gathered during investigation confirmed his central role in Maoist operations within the Western Ghats Special Zonal Committee (WGSZC) of the CPI (Maoist). Investigations also revealed that he functioned as a Special Zonal Committee Member and later assumed the post of Secretary of WGSZC following the arrest of Central Committee Member Sanjoy Deepak Rao in September 2023. Moideen oversaw People's Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) squads in the WGSZC region, led recruitment campaigns, spread Maoist ideology, and planned violent activities targeting security forces at the Kerala–Karnataka–Tamil Nadu tri-junction. Moideen was initially detained by Kerala Police in August 2024 and was formally arrested by the NIA in January 2025. The case was first registered by Telangana Police in September 2023 following the arrest of Sanjoy Deepak Rao, who was caught carrying arms, ammunition, and Maoist literature. The NIA subsequently took over the investigation, filing a chargesheet against Rao and pursuing a wider probe aimed at thwarting the CPI (Maoist)'s revival plans and dismantling its urban and armed networks.
