NIA Cracks Down on Maoist Levy Network: Major Breakthrough in Jharkhand

The NIA conducted extensive searches across Jharkhand to uncover a levy collection network operated by the banned CPI(Maoist). Raids at 19 locations led to the recovery of incriminating documents, mobile phones, and SIM cards, further exposing the group's illegal funding operations linked to road construction projects.

In a significant breakthrough, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has conducted extensive searches over the past two days in Jharkhand, targeting various suspects associated with a banned Maoist outfit.

The searches, carried out on Wednesday and Thursday, spanned 19 different locations across Giridih and Bokaro districts, focusing on absconding commanders, armed cadres, over ground workers (OGWs) and members of CPI(Maoist)'s front organizations.

According to an official NIA statement, the raids yielded incriminating documents, mobile phones, SIM cards, and other materials critical to the ongoing investigation into the Maoist network, which extorted funds through road construction projects in the region.
