Big action by NIA in Phulwari Sharif PFI case of Bihar; raids at 25 places across the country
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is conducting raids at more than 25 locations in Karnataka, Bihar, and Kerala in connection with the Phulwari Sharif case involving the banned Popular Front of India (PFI).
During the raids, sources claimed that they have recovered a few incriminating documents.
“We are probing the funding angle. The funding was being done from these areas which we are raiding,” the source said.
In Karnataka, the raids were taking place in the Dakshina Kannada area.
The case was initially registered on July 12, 2022, at police station Phulwari Sharif, district Patna, Bihar, and re-registered by the NIA on July 22, 2022. The NIA filed a charge sheet against four accused on January 7, 2023.
“Investigations have revealed that Anwar is a former member of the banned terrorist organization SIMI and is currently associated with several PFI members of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, including one Athar Parvez who was named in the FIR and arrested on July 12 last year,” the NIA had stated.
According to the investigation, the NIA had said that Anwar was instrumental in preparing a secret group of former SIMI members to work for the PFI. Under the banner of PFI, the prime agenda was to establish Islamic Rule in India as envisioned in the outfit’s ‘India 2047 Document’.
The NIA has not made any official statement on the matter so far. Further details were awaited.
