The Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested a Popular Front of India (PFI) member from Kerala’s Kozhikode airport while he was “trying to flee the country” as the agency probes him in a money laundering case linked to alleged raising of foreign funds for “anti-national” activities, official sources said on Saturday.
The immigration authorities at the airport had intercepted Abdul Razzak B.P., a divisional president of the PFI’s Perumpadappu unit in Malappuram, on March 9, acting on an Enforcement Directorate lookout circular (LOC) issued against him.
The next day, the agency produced him before a special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court in Lucknow that remanded him to seven days of ED custody, the agency officials said.
