Social activist Anand Teltumbde will on Tuesday surrender before the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in connection with the Elgar Parishad-alleged Maoist links case.

Advocate Mihir Desai said Teltumbde would surrender before the NIA's office at Cumbala Hill in south Mumbai on April 14.

"This is provided Teltumbde is able to travel till the NIA office keeping in mind restrictions imposed in the city due to the coronavirus pandemic," Desai said.

Teltumbde and several other civil liberties activists were booked under stringent provisions of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) for allegedly having Maoist links and conspiring to overthrow the government.

The activists were booked initially by the Pune police following the violence that erupted at Koregaon Bhima there.

As per the police, the activists had made inflammatory speeches and provocative statements at the Elgar Parishad meet held in Pune on December 31, 2017, which it said triggered violence the next day.

The police also said they were active members of banned Maoist groups. The case was later transferred to NIA.
