They stated, the NIA took over the case registered by Phulwari Sharif police station in Patna in July 2022 against Popular Front of India (PFI) cadres for hatching a criminal conspiracy to create disturbance during the PM’s visit.

The federal probe agency carried out searches in Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Delhi.

Furthermore, the NIA team conducted searches at the home of Abdul Wahid Shaikh in the Vikhroli area of Maharashtra’s Mumbai.

Shaikh was an accused in the 2006 railway blasts case but a trial court acquitted him of all the charges.

Previously in September 2022, the government imposed a ban on the PFI for its alleged terror activities.
