600-page charge sheet filed by ATS
The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) on Wednesday filed a chargesheet against senior CPI (Maoist) member Kannamballi Muralidharan alias Ajith at a special court. The investigation has so far revealed that the accused was using different names by forging documents and had been in contact with several youths attached to the Maoist movement, especially in Thane, Mumbai and some parts of Pune. Assistant commissioner of police (ATS-Pune unit) Bhanupratap Barge, who has been probing the case, said, “After getting the state government’s sanction under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), we submitted the chargesheet on Wednesday. The chargesheet runs into 600 pages, with all the details of the investigation.” Muralidharan (62) was arrested from his hideout at Talegaon Dabhade on May 9 this year.
Since then, he has been lodged at the Yerwada Central Jail. This is the third major Maoist arrest in Pune over the last four years, which has led to speculation that the city and its fringes are becoming a safe haven for those with Maoist affiliations. Also known as Thomas Joseph, he has been absconding for 40 years, except for a brief period during the Emergency when he was detained. He hails from Irumbanam in Ernakulam, Kerala, and is a member of the powerful central committee of the CPI-(Maoist).
Till last year, he had been secretary of the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Naxalbari and is a former member of the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement. The investigation also confirmed that he was an active member of the powerful central committee of the CPI-(Maoist). The chargesheet was submitted before special court judge T Utpat. The next hearing will see the framing of charges, after which the trial would begin. According to the chargesheet filed by ATS, Muralidharan faces charges of forgery and impersonation under the relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and UAPA.

Police also found that Muralidharan had held meetings in Mumbai and Thane and was also in contact with Maoist youths around Pune. Officials said his activities in Pune were not overt as he was here to hide. “He got funds from the central committee. There were some leads and our team went up to Chennai, but nothing concrete has come out of the investigation yet,” apolice officer added.
