ED Cracks Down on PFI: Arrests Five Members, Custody Decision Awaited

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has taken a significant step by apprehending five individuals associated with the banned organization Popular Front of India (PFI). The arrested members include E.M. Abdul Rahman, Anis Ahmad, Afzar Pasha, and A.S. Ismail.

In a swift move, the ED brought the five accused before the Patiala House Court, emphasizing the gravity of the charges against them. ED has formally requested a 10-day custody for all five accused, underscoring the need for thorough investigation and interrogation.

Patiala House Court to pronounce verdict on custody of PFI members

The Patiala House Court, following a hearing, has currently kept its decision regarding the ED’s custody demand in abeyance. This indicates a careful consideration of legal and procedural aspects before reaching a conclusion. The court is expected to announce its decision on the Enforcement Directorate’s custody demand shortly, reflecting the judicial scrutiny applied to the case.

NIA apprehended members of PFI

It’s worth noting that prior to the ED’s action, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) had already apprehended members of the PFI. The current arrests by the ED suggest a coordinated effort to address concerns related to the banned organization. All five accused were already in judicial custody as a result of the earlier NIA operation, highlighting the seriousness of the charges they face. The legal proceedings underscore a comprehensive approach in dealing with the alleged activities of the PFI and its members.
