3 alleged PFI members arrested on money-laundering charges for receiving funds for weapons training under PMLA.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrested three alleged members of the banned Popular Front of India (PFI) on money-laundering charges. The suspects, Abdul Khader Puttur, Anshad Baddrudin, and Firoz K, were working as physical trainers for the PFI. They were arrested under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and accused of receiving substantial funds from the proscribed organisation for imparting weapons training to its cadre. The PFI was banned in September 2022 by the Centre due to its alleged links with terror activities.
