The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday said it has conducted searches at a location in Kerala’s Kollam district in connection with a terror-related case pertaining to the banned organization Popular Front of India (PFI) and arrested one of the members, Mohammed Sadik who was working as a ‘reporter’ for it.

“Investigation has revealed that the PFI had assigned the job of a ‘reporter’ to the accused, Mohammed Sadik. A ‘reporter’ in the PFI system collects details about leaders of other communities for possible targetting by ‘Hit Squads‘ of the PFI,” said the official.
