Kerala PFI Leaders Were In Touch With ISIS And Al-Qaeda: NIA
NIA
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has said that many Kerala based leaders of the now banned Popular Front of India (PFI), were in touch with top leaders of the global terror organisations, ISIS and Al-Qaeda.
The submission was made to the NIA Special Court in Kochi while seeking additional time to investigate the PFI leaders who were arrested during the nationwide raids in late September.
The NIA also said that the PFI had a secret and dedicated wing to compile data of leaders from other communities, which would later be used as a hit-list. The operations of this secret wing were done from the PFI office.
Some of the evidence collected clearly showed that PFI leaders had helped in radicalising and recruiting people for terror outfits.
The court granted an additional 90 days for filing the charge sheet and extended the judicial custody of the accused for another 180 days.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
