Anoop, an alleged Maoist operative from Kerala who was arrested from Coimbatore along with Roopesh and Shyna, will be brought to Kochi on June 22.

The Ernakulam district and sessions court on Wednesday issued a production warrant on Anoop in connection with an attack on the corporate office of Nitta Gelatine India Ltd in Kochi. The warrant was issued on the basis of a request by Bijo Alexander, Assistant Commissioner of Police, Thrikkakara, who is heading the investigation in the case.

Fourth accused

The role of Anoop, who had taken part in the attack along with eight others, came to light while interrogating Ramanan, who was arrested from Kollam. Based on his statements, the police arraigned Ramanan and Anoop as the third and fourth accused respectively.

Anoop was arrested by the Tamil Nadu Q branch on May 4 and is currently lodged in the Coimbatore Central Jail.

The case pertains to the ransacking of the Nitta Gelatine office at Panampalli Nagar, SBT Avenue Road, on November 11, 2014.

He was arrested in Coimbatore along with Roopesh and Shyna recently.
