New Delhi [India], October 11 (ANI): In another breakthrough in the Chhattisgarh case relating to supply of arms and ammunition to Naxal cadres, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Friday arrested two more key accused with linkages to the conspiracy, the agency said.
With the arrest of Sudhir Tripathi and Suraj Nishad, both hailing from Uttar Pradesh’s Prayagraj district, the total number of arrests in the case have gone up to six.
Four accused were arrested earlier in January last year, when the arms and ammunition were also seized by the local police, which had originally registered the case under various sections of Arms Act , Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and Indian Penal Code (IPC).
The NIA, which took over the investigation in the case in January this year, found both Sudhir and Suraj to be actively involved in the supply of arms and ammunition from Uttar Pradesh to the Naxal cadres in Bastar region of Chhattisgarh.
“They were in regular touch with one another and had co- conspired to provide logistical support to the banned terrorist outfit,” said the anti-terror organisation. (ANI)
