The National Investigation Agency (NIA) and other probe agencies are carrying out a second round of raids on the Popular Front of India (PFI).
Investigative agencies are conducting operations across Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Assam, Delhi, Maharashtra, Telangana, and Uttar Pradesh.
PFI has been accused of terror funding, providing weapons training to Muslim youth, and radicalising them to join terrorist organisations. The action is reportedly based on intelligence inputs provided by the National Investigation Agency.
It is reported that in an early morning raid, the local police took over 40 PFI members into custody in Karnataka on Tuesday. In the meantime, 21 PFI workers have been detained from across Madhya Pradesh so far.
In Assam, at least 25 PFI leaders have been detained across five central and lower Assam districts in an early morning raid by the state police. They were picked up from Nagarbera area of Kamrup district, Goalpara, Barpeta, Dhubri, Baksa, and Darrang.
