Elgar Parishad: Fighting ‘Naxal plague’ in the country, says NIA on plea against transfer of case
Activists Surendra Gadling and Sudhir Dhawale, who are accused in the case, have challenged the transfer of case from the Pune Police to the NIA.
The National Investigation Agency on Tuesday opposed the plea challenging the transfer of the Elgar Parishad case investigation from the Pune Police, saying that it was fighting the “Naxal plague” in the country, reported India Today.
The central agency made the statement in an affidavit on a plea by activists Surendra Gadling and Sudhir Dhawale, who are accused in the case. They have challenged the transfer of the case from the Pune Police to the central agency in January 2020.
