A young man named Adarsh is part of a student group called SFI in Kerala, India.

The police say he was involved in attacking officials who do financial investigations, called the ED.

Those officials had gone to search the house of Pinarayi Vijayan, who used to be the chief minister of Kerala.

They were looking into money matters connected to his daughter's company and a sand mining company.

After the search, the officials were leaving, but a group of people attacked their cars, and a few people who worked with the officials got hurt.

Police watched videos of the attack and figured out that Adarsh was part of it.

But before police could catch him, he flew to a city called Dubai.

So the police put out a special alert at airports, called a lookout circular.

When Adarsh came back from Dubai to India, he was stopped and taken into custody at Chennai airport.

Now police officers are going to Chennai to bring him back for questioning.
