Hyderabad: The Hyderabad unit of National Investigation Agency (NIA) has chargesheeted a top leader of the banned CPI (Maoist) terror outfit in an anti-India conspiracy case. In the supplementary chargesheet filed before the NIA Special Court, Hyderabad, CP Moideen alias Girish has been charged under relevant sections of the UA(P) Act, 1967 and IPC. As per NIA investigation, Moideen was actively involved in the Maoist conspiracy to wage a war against the Central government. Evidence gathered during investigation confirmed his central role in Maoist operations in Western Ghats Special Zonal Committee (WGSZC) of CPI (Maoist). Further, the NIA investigations revealed that he was a Special Zonal Committee Member of the WGSZC, and took over as Secretary of WGSZC after the arrest of Central Committee Member Sanjoy Deepak Rao in September 2023. Moideen oversaw PLGA squads in WGSZC, led recruitment drives, propagated Maoist ideology, and planned violent actions targeting security forces in the Kerala–Karnataka–Tamil Nadu tri-junction, the anti-terror organisation found during investigation. Moideen was taken into custody by Kerala police in August 2024 and formally arrested by NIA in January 2025 in the case RC-01/2024/NIA/HYD. The case was originally registered by Telangana police in September 2023 against the cadres and members of CPI (Maoist) and its frontal organisations following the arrest of Sanjoy Deepak Rao. Sanjay Rao was nabbed when he was found carrying arms and ammunition along with Maoist literature. Subsequently, the case was taken over by NIA, which chargesheeted Rao and carried forward the investigation as part of its efforts to scuttle CPI (Maoist)’s revival attempts and dismantle its urban and armed networks.
