NIA finds no assets of Naxalite leader to confiscate

KARIMNAGAR: A team of officials from the National Investigation Agency (NIA), and police and revenue department on Saturday came to confiscate the properties of MuppallaLakshmanaRao alias Ganapati, secretary of Maoist party, and two members of the Maoist central committee.

The move follows an order of Calcutta high court, which directed that the properties of Ganapati and central committee members Balumuri Narayana Rao and Thipparthi Tirupati be seized.

NIA inspector Raja Subramanyam Raju visited Ganapati's native village Birpur in Sarangapur mandal of Karimnagar district. The NIA official was supported by the local police and revenue authorities. They made an announcement in the village by beating drums that the assets of Ganapati would be seized as per a court directive.

Later, they enquired about Ganapati's family and perused the revenue and village records. But they did not find any property registered in the name of Ganapati. The team found that a house was registered in the name of Ganapati's brother Ramachandra Rao.

The officials also visited the house of Narayana Rao and found that 1.37 acres of land is registered in his name. The property was seized and it was handed over to local tehsildar Guduri Srinivasa Rao. They could not locate any property registered against the name of Tirupati. The NIA inspector left for Kolkata.
