The National Investigation Agency (NIA) conducted searches on Tuesday at eight locations in five districts of Uttar Pradesh in connection with its ongoing probe into a Naxal case. The raids are going on in Prayagraj, Varanasi, Chandauli, Azamgarh, and Deoria districts of Uttar Pradesh.
As per official sources in the anti-terror agency, the raids were conducted early on Tuesday “in connection with NIA Case No. RC-01/2023/NIA/LKW revival of NRB of CPI (Maoist) case”. Multiple NIA teams carried out searches simultaneously at all eight locations, which are the residential and office premises of the suspects.
Coinciding with the coordinated operations launched against the Maoists in all the Left Wing Extremist affected States in the country, this NIA’s operation in close coordination with the Uttar Pradesh Police is yet another blow to the rebels.
