The NIA on Tuesday busted a multi-state hawala network funding the banned Islamist outfit Popular Front of India’s terror activities and arrested five members of the Islamist organisation in Karnataka and Kerala. The agency said despite the ban, PFI leaders and members continued to propagate the ideology of violent extremism and were also arranging arms and ammunition to commit crimes.
NIA teams have been carrying out extensive searches in Kerala’s Kasargod and Karnataka’s Dakshin Kannada.
