All the accused have been charged under multiple non-bailable sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, an official said.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has named Trinamool Congress member Chhatradhar Mahato and 12 others in its charge sheet in the 2009 Rajdhani Express hostage case, an official of the investigating agency said on Friday.
It has named Mahto, who was the convenor of the Maoist-backed People Against Police Atrocities (PCPA), as the prime accused along with his brother Shashadhar Mahato and the late Maoist commander Kishenji in its around 50-page charge sheet filed before an NIA special court on Thursday, the official said.
All the accused have been charged under multiple non-bailable sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, he said.
