New Delhi. On Wednesday, NIA conducted massive raids against people associated with PFI at 20 places across the country including Maharashtra, Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu.
Raids were conducted at many locations in Delhi-NCR, including Bally Maran of Hauz Qazi police station area of Old Delhi. Along with this, raids were conducted at Mumtaz Building located in Hauz Qazi area of Central Delhi.
A publication house is running in this building. The information and prints of the books published in the publication house are being scrutinized. Mumtaz Building is a very big building with 4 floors, where NIA teams are present along with Delhi Police.
In this publication house, entry register, funding details and employees are being inquired daily. It is being told that religious books are also published in this publication.
At the same time, NIA raids are going on in Tonk, Kota, Gangapur of Rajasthan since late night, from where many suspects were detained. This raid has been conducted in connection with the case of Phulwari Sharif adjacent to Patna, the capital of Bihar.
It is alleged that a training session was being conducted by people associated with PFI in Phulwari Sharif with the aim of allegedly carrying out terrorist activities. Tanveer Raza alias Barkati and Mohammad Abid alias Aryan were arrested by the investigating agency in the same case.
Last year, the central government had banned PFI for five years. After this, about three hundred and fifty people associated with this organization were also arrested. However, even after such a big action, many people associated with that organization are still active in many states.
Therefore, considering the seriousness of this matter, the investigating agency is searching for those people very seriously and appropriate legal action is being taken in this regard.
