The National Investigation Agency (NIA), probing criminal cases involving cadres of the banned Popular Front of India (PFI), has claimed that the Islamist outfit carried hit lists of hundreds of people it aimed to target, including a former district judge in Kerala. DGP Ashok Juneja, ADGP Vivekanand, IG CRPF Rakesh Agarwal, IG Bastar Sundarraj, and other senior officials during their visit to the site where an IED blast occurred on the security force's vehicle. (ANI) The national agency's disclosure was revealed in an order of a special NIA court in Kochi on June 11, rejecting the petitions for bail by two accused in the case of the murder of RSS leader Srinivasan in April 2022. The murder, allegedly carried out by PFI workers, was one of the crimes that led to the nationwide ban by the Union government on the extremist outfit in 2022. The NIA prosecutor told the special court in Kochi that the PFI had three wings — 'Reporters Wing', 'Physical and Arms Training Wing' and 'Service Wing/Hit teams'. The 'India 2047' agenda of the PFI was to eliminate those that go against the interests of the outfit, he said. 'Therefore, PFI through their secret 'Reporters wing' collected and maintained the personal details of the people of other community, including their position, name, age, photo etc. The same is established through the seizure of various hit lists prepared by PFI cadres through their secret wing called 'Reporters wing',' the order read. The 'Reporters wing', it said, collected personal and private information of prominent personalities in society besides leaders of other communities like Hindus including their day-to-day activities. 'The data is compiled at the PFI district level and communicated to their state hierarchy. The details are regularly updated and utilised to 'target' the individuals as and when required by the terrorist gang. The PFI had trained its cadres for collection of such data and had stored them besides providing the same to their assault teams in 'Service wing' as when decided by their leadership,' the order said. The NIA told the court that documents containing the hit list of about 240 persons were seized from Sirajudheen, a member of the 'Reporters wing' of PFI and accused number 51 in the Srinivasan murder case. The agency stated that the name of a former district judge in Kerala was on a hit list of five targeted persons seized from Abdul Wahab, another accused in the murder case. The NIA told the court that it has seized documents containing hit lists of 232 persons from Muhammed Sadik, an accused-turned-approver in the case, and another hit list of 500 persons from an absconding accused named Ayoob TA. The agency stated that in murder cases involving PFI cadres, including that of RSS leader Srinivasan in Palakkad, the accused did not have any personal enmity with the deceased. 'The victims have been selected solely because of their leadership/membership to a particular community and were killed to create terror in society,' it said.

PFI had 'hit list' of 950 in Kerala including judge, reveals NIA probe
Kochi: In a startling revelation made by the National Investigating Agency (NIA), it has surfaced that the banned Popular Front of India (PFI) had prepared a hit list of 950 people in Kerala. The list, which surfaced in the media on Wednesday, included a now-retired district judge. Incidentally, this list was submitted early this month by the NIA at a special court here when the bail applications of four accused in the murder of RSS leader Sreenivasan came up for hearing. The NIA opposed the bail strongly. The four accused, identified as Muhammad Bilal, Riyasudheen, Ansar K.P. and Saheer K.V., were arrested for murdering Sreenivasan at Palakkad, Kerala, in 2022. The list of 950 was compiled after getting confirmed inputs from different places by the NIA probe team. It includes eight documents seized from the 51st accused, Sirajudheen, which contain a list of 240 people from other communities. Then, while conducting a search held at Periyar Valley Campus at Aluva, NIA was able to get the details of five targeted persons from the purse of the 15th accused, Abdul Wahad, who is presently on the run. It was in this list that the name of a former district judge was found. Another document seized from an accused, who turned approver later, contained a hit list with the names of 232 people. Similarly, a search held at the home of the 69th accused, Ayoob, a hit list containing the names of about 500 people was found. When the NIA was probing the Sreenivasan case, the PFI link emerged. It was later found that PFI had sinister plans to create unrest in the country. During the investigation, the anti-terror agency got details of the PFI carrying out physical and arms training for its cadres. The NIA has now claimed that it has voice clips and witness statements that reveal the 'India 2047 plan' of setting up Islamic rule in India. The special court, after hearing both sides and going through the documents produced before it, observed that there were reasonable grounds for believing that the accusation against the petitioners was prima facie true, and rejected the bail petition.
