Press release -PAO-PFI 8.11.25
Directorate of Enforcement (ED), Hqrs. office has further attached 08 immovable
properties valued at Rs. 67.03 Crore beneficially owned and controlled by Popular Front of
India (PFI). The properties were held in the name of various trusts and that of its political
front – Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI).
ED initiated investigation against Popular Front of India (PFI) and others under PMLA,
2002 on the basis of FIR registered by NIA, along with various FIRs registered by other Law
Enforcement Agencies against Popular Front of India (PFI) and others. Investigation
revealed that the office bearers, members and cadres of Popular Front of India (PFI), were
conspiring and raising/collecting funds from within India and abroad through banking
channels, Hawala, donations etc. for committing and financing terrorist acts across India.
Further, investigation has revealed that SDPI is a political front of PFI and PFI used
to control, fund and supervise the activities of SDPI. SDPI was majorly dependent on PFI
for its day-to-day functions, policy making, selecting candidates for election, public
programs, cadre mobilization and other related activities. Additionally, investigation has also
revealed that the expenses made by PFI for and on behalf of SDPI, were maintained in the
dairies secretly and not reflected in the bank accounts of PFI. Funds have been collected
extensively by PFI and SDPI from foreign countries mainly gulf countries and also locally in
the garb of relief and social activities.
The proceeds were used for furtherance of criminal conspiracy to carry out violent
and terrorist activities in India to achieve the goal of forming an Islamic Nation of India,
jeopardising our secular fabric and disrupting the Unity and Integrity of the nation.
Investigation by ED has led to the quantification of Proceeds of Crime (POC) to the tune of
Rs. 131 Crore, so far.
So far 28 leaders, members and cadres of PFI have been arrested by ED and
multiple Prosecution Complaints in this regard have been filed before Hon’ble Courts. The
arrestees include National President of SDPI MK. Faizy, the Chairman, General Secretary,
office bearers, and members of both the National and State Executive Councils (NEC & SEC)
of the PFI, as well as Physical Education (PE) Coordinators and Trainers who were providing
weapons training to the PFI members and cadres.During the course of investigation, ED identified multiple properties beneficially
owned and controlled by PFI. Investigation has revealed that PFI ideologues were exStudents Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) members. SIMI was the student’s wings of
Jamaat-e-Islami. The history of origin of PFI can be traced back to the ban of Jamaate-Islami after the demolition of Babri Masjid. At that time, properties of Jamaat-e-Islami
were attached and sealed under UA(P)A. Taking inspiration from these developments
senior PFI members who were part of National Development Front (NDF) at that time,
deliberately formed various trusts all across Kerala and registered various properties
owned and controlled by PFI under them
Earlier, Searches by ED led to seizure of multiple records maintained by PFI
which has:
(a) Detailed records pertaining to the properties under scrutiny are being
maintained at various locations, indicating systematic documentation and
control.
(b) The said properties have been found registered in the names of different
trusts and individual persons associated with the PFI
(c) The income and expenditure pertaining to these properties are subjected
to meticulous audit and systematic financial recording at regular intervals,
thereby demonstrating organized and deliberate financial management.
(d) Crucial particulars such as survey numbers, village, taluk, district, and the
names of the executants of the sale deeds have been duly maintained in
the records, including sale deed value and current market value, reflecting
deliberate and detailed property management.
Seized records also revealed that PFI conducted multiple PE (Physical
Education) training programmes and built sheds on various properties. Examples are
Valluvanad House Pattambi and Malabar house (Haritam Foundation) which have
been currently attached by ED.
PFI was conducting extensive Physical Education (PE) classes on the properties
registered under dummy owners’ names for imparting offensive and defensive manoeuvres
using various arms through Primary and Secondary PE classes. The PE classes were aimed
preparing cadres and members for fulfilling their Jihadist agenda and using them for
committing various unlawful activities.
