Hyderabad – The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed a supplementary chargesheet against a senior leader of the banned Communist Party of India (Maoist) in connection with a case involving an alleged conspiracy to wage war against the Indian State.
The chargesheet, submitted before the NIA Special Court in Hyderabad, names C.P. Moideen, also known by the alias Girish, under multiple sections of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), 1967, and relevant provisions of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
CPI (Maoist) Leader Accused of Anti-India Activities
According to the NIA, C.P. Moideen played a critical role in furthering the CPI (Maoist)’s banned ideology, participating in underground operations and supporting activities aimed at destabilizing the Indian government. The investigation revealed his alleged involvement in recruitment drives, raising funds, spreading Maoist propaganda, and coordinating logistics for armed cadres.
Moideen is believed to be a key member of the party’s central committee, making him one of the highest-ranking figures charged in the ongoing crackdown against left-wing extremism.
Part of a Larger Anti-India Conspiracy Case
The charges are linked to a broader investigation into the CPI (Maoist)’s nationwide network, which, according to the NIA, was actively involved in plotting violent attacks and inciting rebellion in multiple states. The conspiracy case involves multiple suspects and aims to expose the operational structure and support mechanisms of the banned organization.
This supplementary chargesheet adds to earlier findings in the case and strengthens the agency’s legal action against high-profile Maoist operatives.
Legal Provisions Invoked
- UAPA Sections: Criminal conspiracy, membership of a terrorist organization, and activities prejudicial to the sovereignty and integrity of India
- IPC Sections: Waging war against the government, sedition, and criminal conspiracy
Background: NIA’s Ongoing Crackdown on Left-Wing Extremism
The case forms part of the NIA’s intensified efforts to dismantle left-wing extremist networks across India. Over the past year, the agency has raided dozens of locations, arrested senior Maoist leaders, and seized incriminating materials including documents, electronic devices, and funds suspected to be linked to terrorist financing.
The central government has repeatedly stressed its zero-tolerance approach toward internal security threats, particularly from Naxal-Maoist insurgent groups.
