PFI’s Secret Hit List Uncovered by NIA
- On June 25, 2025, the National Investigation Agency revealed in court that the outlawed Popular Front of India had created a list of approximately 972 individuals in Kerala as potential targets.
- The lists emerged during a probe initiated in May 2022 following central government directions over PFI’s alleged anti-national activities and involvement in the 2022 murder of RSS leader Sreenivasan.
- NIA documents reveal PFI's structure includes a Reporters Wing gathering personal data, a Service Wing conducting eliminations, and an Arms Training Wing at Periyar Valley campus.
- One list seized from accused Sirajudheen contained 240 names including public officials and Hindu leaders, while others yielded 232 and 500 names, with some on bail pleas opposed by NIA.
- These revelations underline a coordinated effort within PFI to destabilize communal harmony by targeting prominent figures, leading to a five-year ban under anti-terror laws and ongoing legal actions.
