The National Investigatio Agency (NIA) on Wednesday launched raids at nearly 12 premises of the banned outfit Popular Front of India (PFI). Thee locations reportedly include Delhi-NCR, Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh.
This development came months after NIA filed a chargesheet against 19 people, including 12 National Executive Council (NEC) members of the banned outfit.
In September 2022, the Union Home Ministry imposed a ban on PFI and eight of its associates for five years over threats to security and terror links.
The PFI was formed in 2006 with the merger of the National Development Front (NDF) of Kerala and Karnataka Forum for Dignity (KFD).

Since its formation, PFI cadres have been involved in a series of murders and violent attacks in the country.
