According to sources, Usman was held on Tuesday morning from a hideout and was being quizzed by the police and intelligence agencies.
Usman was accused in around ten cases, including one in which two youths from Kozhikode district, Allan Shuaib and Thwaha Fasal, were held in 2019, accused of a CPI (Maoist) nexus.
It was suspected that Usman supplied materials like pamphlets to the two. NIA was probing the case registered under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
