UP man held in Delhi in CPI(M) revival conspiracy case
Jun 23, 2025 07:48 AM IST The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested a Mathura man who is said to be a key accused in a CPI (Maoist) revival conspiracy case, the agency said in a note on Sunday. The arrest was made during a search in Vishal Singh's West Delhi house, from where digital devices and other incriminating materials were also seized. (For representation) A senior NIA official said Singh, who was originally from U.P's Mathura, was a member of the banned CPI (Maoist) and had delivered a drone to leaders of the outfit in Chhakarbanda/Panchrukhiya forest area of Bihar to further its violent anti-national activities. He had imparted technical training to other cadres of CPI (Maoist) and had also attended meetings with its central committee members in the deep forests of Bihar in 2019. He said the case related to the terror organisation's conspiracy to re-energise its decrepit influence in the Northern Regional Bureau (NRB) area, comprising UP, Uttarakhand, Delhi, Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh. He said the conspiracy involved the recruitment of cadres and strengthening of the organisation in the region through underground cadres working in urban areas, along with some Over Ground Workers (OGWs) operating in the guise of activists. The NIA, in August 2024, arrested one Ajay Singhal alias Aman, who was the in-charge of the CPI(M)'s State Organising Committee (SOC) in Haryana and Punjab, in the same case.

Mathura man held for supplying drone to Naxals
Lucknow: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Sunday arrested a key accused in a case related to a CPI (Maoist) conspiracy to revive its Northern Regional Bureau (NRB), which covers Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, and Himachal Pradesh. The arrested accused, Vishal Singh, originally from Mathura in Uttar Pradesh, was apprehended from West Delhi. During a search of his residence, the NIA recovered multiple digital devices, including hard drives, pen drives, and mobile phones, along with other incriminating material. According to the NIA, Singh is an active member of the banned CPI (Maoist) and supplied a drone to the outfit's leaders in the Chhakarbanda/Panchrukhiya forest region of Bihar. He is also accused of providing technical training to cadres and participating in secret meetings with central committee members in Bihar's forested areas in 2019. The case registered in the NIA's Lucknow unit in 2023 pertains to a larger Maoist plan to reactivate its presence in North India through covert recruitment and support from urban operatives, including Over Ground Workers (OGWs) and front organisations posing as activists or student groups. These groups reportedly received funding from the outfit's Eastern Regional Bureau, mainly based in Jharkhand. In August 2024, the NIA earlier arrested Ajay Singhal alias Aman, the in-charge of the Maoists' State Organising Committee for Haryana and Punjab. Investigations in the case are still underway, said sources in the central agency.
