**NIA Chargesheets Top Maoist Leader in Anti-India Conspiracy Case**

*Hyderabad, July 19, 2025* – The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed a supplementary chargesheet against C.P. Moideen, also known as Girish, a senior leader of the banned Communist Party of India (Maoist), in connection with an anti-India conspiracy case. The chargesheet, filed before the NIA Special Court in Hyderabad, accuses Moideen of violating the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and the Indian Penal Code.

According to the NIA, Moideen played a pivotal role in the Maoist conspiracy to wage war against the Government of India, particularly within the Western Ghats Special Zonal Committee (WGSZC) of the CPI (Maoist). Investigations revealed he oversaw People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) squads, spearheaded recruitment campaigns, disseminated Maoist ideology, and orchestrated violent activities targeting security forces in the tri-junction area of Kerala, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu.

Moideen’s arrest followed an initial detention by Kerala Police in August 2024, with the NIA formally arresting him in January 2025. The case originated in September 2023 when Telangana Police arrested Sanjoy Deepak Rao, another Maoist leader, while in possession of arms, ammunition, and Maoist literature.

The NIA subsequently took over the investigation, filing a chargesheet against Rao and launching a broader investigation aimed at thwarting the CPI (Maoist)’s efforts to revive and dismantle its urban and armed networks across the country. The NIA aims to curb the group’s revival attempts and dismantle their network.
