With the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) imposing a ban on the Popular Front of India (PFI) and its affiliated organisations for five years under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967, the Andhra Pradesh police have raided its offices at different locations and launched a manhunt for its activists who are allegedly involved in unlawful activities.
The activities of the PFI had come to light after the Nizamabad police raided a training camp in Telangana and arrested a few organisers, besides seizing some incriminating material from the accused.
A couple of leaders from Andhra Pradesh were among those who had undergone training. They were absconding since the police unearthed the activities of the PFI and other frontal organisations.
