The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed a chargesheet against a Naxal in the killing of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Ratan Dubey by armed members of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) in Chhattisgarh.
This information was given in an official statement issued on Thursday. The statement said that the NIA on Wednesday filed a chargesheet against Dhansingh Korram alias Sukhdev Korram, an active member of the banned organisation, in the NIA special court in Jagdalpur.
The NIA statement said that unknown members of the CPI (Maoist) had murdered Dubey with an axe on November 4 last year at a crowded weekly market in Kaushalnar village of Narayanpur while he was campaigning for the assembly elections.
The NIA took over the investigation of this case in February. It found that Korram was actively involved in the conspiracy to kill Dubey. The statement said that the purpose of this conspiracy was to disrupt the free and fair process of assembly elections and spread terror among the local people.
The investigating agency said that the accused, who was arrested on December 10 last year, had informed the attackers about Dubey’s presence in the Kaushalnar weekly market. According to the NIA investigation, when the crime was being committed, Korram fled after throwing CPI (Maoist) pamphlets at the site of the attack.
