“Gade had incited a gathering of around 200 people at the funeral meeting by urging them to actively promote the ideology of CPI (Maoist) and never let the revolution die. The accused had also lambasted former CPI (Maoist) cadres who had surrendered their weapons before government agencies,” the NIA said in a press release.

The NIA investigation revealed that Gade was allegedly closely associated with several senior CPI (Maoist) cadres and used to meet them in the forest areas of Chhattisgarh. He was further found to be actively involved in propagating the terror outfit’s ideology through a frontal organisation, ‘Bharat Bachao’, of which he was a co-founder, the NIA stated.

In the chargesheet filed before the NIA Special Court at Nampally, Hyderabad, Gade Innaiah has been charged under various sections of the BNS and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967.
