The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has conducted a series of raids at around 25 locations across Karnataka, Kerala, Bihar and New Delhi in connection with the Phulwarisharif PFI case, which is linked to the banned organization Popular Front of India (PFI). The NIA searched 16 places in Dakshina Kannada on Wednesday, including several houses, offices and hospitals linked to PFI activists in Mangaluru, Puttur, Beltangady, Uppinangady, Venur and Bantwal. The NIA’s actions are part of a wider effort to investigate the alleged involvement of PFI activists in a number of offenses across the country, including acts of terrorism and conspiracy to commit murder.

The group was formed in 2006 and has been linked to a number of controversial incidents, including acts of terrorism and communal violence. The PFI is banned in several states across the country, and the government has previously accused it of having links to terrorist organizations.
