New Delhi, Jul 13 (PTI) The National Investigation Agency has filed a charge sheet against four Maoists for allegedly attacking police personnel in Chhattisgarh this year, according to a statement on Saturday.
The accused — Aaytu Ram Nuruti, Manoj Kumar Hichami, Suresh Nuruti and Budhuram Padda — have been named in the charge sheet filed on Friday before the NIA special court in Chhattisgarh’s Jagdalpur, it said.
Investigations have revealed that all the accused, who are members of the proscribed organisation CPI (Maoist), were involved in attacking a search team of the police and other security personnel in Chhote Bethiya police station area in Kanker on January 16 this year.
