Mr Chandrashekar said, āThey have recorded my statement. I have a record of serving as a government doctor even in Maoist affected areas and won praises from people, they mistook me to be Maoist sympathiser and conducted the searches. They questioned me based on a book and a CD that I had purchased at a book fair and also based on some old reports in the newspapers.ā
NIA was investigating a case of an attack on a police team in May 2019.
