The National Investigation Agency (NIA) conducted raids in Gaya and Kaimur districts of Bihar, uncovering a major cache of weapons, cash, and digital devices linked to the CPI (Maoist) Magadh Zone revival case. The raids were aimed at disrupting the Maoist group’s efforts to re-establish their presence in the region. The agency has arrested six individuals involved in the conspiracy and filed charges against them.
Twelve Naxals were killed in a major operation by Gadchiroli police commandos on the Chhattisgarh-Gadchiroli border near Maharashtra’s Kanker. The encounter, which lasted over six hours, also resulted in the recovery of a significant cache of arms, including AK-47 rifles and INSAS rifles. The operation comes as Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis performed the ‘Bhoomi Pujan’ for a new steel plant in Gadchiroli, aimed at providing employment opportunities in the Naxal-affected district.
