The National Investigation Agency launched simultaneous searches at multiple locations across Tamil Nadu early on Tuesday and arrested five suspects on charges of being part of the Popular Front of India (PFI) criminal conspiracy case.
The central agency said that the accused had conspired to eliminate their ‘perceived enemies’ who were not aligned to the PFI ideology and opposed to its plans to establish an Islamic State in India by 2047.
