PFI Man Arrested in RSS Worker Murder Case
A man named Shahul Hameed was arrested at an airport in Delhi after being on the run for over three years.
He is accused of being part of a group called the Popular Front of India (PFI) and involved in the murder of an RSS worker named Sreenivasan in Kerala.
The court has allowed the police to question him for five days to find out more about his role and the activities of the PFI.
The police have also found digital evidence and documents that they plan to use during the investigation.
The murder case is significant because it helped the government ban the PFI.
Shahul Hameed, a 50-year-old accused in the RSS worker Sreenivasan murder case, was arrested at Delhi airport after three years on the run.
He is alleged to be an active member of the banned outfit Popular Front of India (PFI) and part of a conspiracy to establish Islamic rule in India.
The NIA court in Kochi granted five days of custodial interrogation for Shahul Hameed, starting from December 1, 2025.
Investigators found digital evidence and documents, including 'hit lists', which they plan to use during the interrogation.
The murder of RSS worker Sreenivasan on April 16, 2022, led to the ban of the PFI and revealed the organization's involvement in terror plots and arms training.
