A suspect in the PFI's criminal conspiracy to carry out terror activities in the country was arrested by the National Investigation Agency on Thursday, an official said.

The National Investigation Agency on Thursday conducted searches at three locations in Kerala and Karnataka in connection with a criminal conspiracy by the PFI to carry out terror activities in the country, an official said.

The raids were carried out in the Kozhikode district of Kerala and Kalaburagi district of Karnataka and led to the seizure of incriminating materials, including digital devices and various documents, a spokesperson of the NIA said.

The official said the searches were carried out in connection with a case registered Suo Motu by the federal agency against the proscribed Popular Front of India (PFI) on April 13.

"The case pertains to the criminal conspiracy hatched by the office bearers, members, and cadres of PFI, to raise and collect funds within India and abroad to commit or get committed acts of terror in different parts of the country, including Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, and Delhi.

"It was also revealed that the accused persons were conducting training camps to indoctrinate and train their cadres to carry out terrorist activities at various locations across the country," the spokesperson said.
