Overview
- The supplementary chargesheet, filed on July 18 in Hyderabad, charges Moideen under sections of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and the Indian Penal Code for waging war against the government.
- NIA investigators say Moideen took over as secretary of the Western Ghats Special Zonal Committee after the September 2023 arrest of central committee member Sanjoy Deepak Rao.
- Evidence indicates he directed People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army squads, led recruitment campaigns and planned attacks on security forces in the Kerala–Karnataka–Tamil Nadu tri-junction.
- Moideen was first detained by Kerala Police in August 2024 and formally arrested by the NIA in January 2025 following transfer of the case from Telangana Police.
- This latest filing builds on earlier charges against CPI (Maoist) operatives as part of a broader effort to dismantle the group’s urban and armed networks.
