Elgar Parishad Case: After the framing of charges, the court will ask the accused whether they plead guilty or not in the case.
The NIA in its draft charges submitted before a special court in Mumbai in the Elgar Parishad-Maoist links case has claimed the accused wanted to establish their own government and "wage a war against the nation". The National Investigation Agency (NIA) submitted the draft earlier this month and a copy of it was made available on Monday. The draft lays down 17 charges against 15 accused, including human rights and civil liberties activists, and they have been sought to be charged under various sections of the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and the Indian Penal Code (IPC). The NIA has alleged that the accused were active members of the banned terror outfit CPI (Maoist).More Related News
