The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has attached what it termed as one of the “largest arms and martial training” facilities allegedly owned by the proscribed Popular Front of India (PFI) in Kerala.
It said on Monday that the training centre was spread over 10 hectares of land at Manjeri in Malappuram and operated under the cover of Green Valley Academy.
“The PFI had been using the property for imparting arms training, physical training, and training on use and testing of explosives to its cadres, identified as part of their ‘Service Wing’. The facility was also used to harbour several PFI Service Wing members after they committed crimes, including murders,” the NIA said in a press release.
