In a fresh crackdown on the terror activities of the Popular Front of India (PFI), the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has attached one of the proscribed outfit’s oldest and largest arms and physical training sites in Kerala. Under the provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, this was the sixth PFI arms training facility and the 18th property attached by the NIA in Kerala.

What the NIA said?

The Green Valley Academy, Manjeri, managed by ‘Green Valley Foundation’ (GVF) and was used by the cadres of National Development Front and subsequently by the PFI into which it merged, said the NIA on Monday. As per the NIA, the PFI had been using the property for “imparting arms training, physical training, and training on use and testing of explosives to its cadres, identified to be part of their ‘Service Wing’.”

“The facility was also used to harbour several ‘PFI Service Wing’ members after they committed crimes, including murders. The Centre was further used to impart the radical and rabid type of ideological training in PFI’s divisive and communal agenda and policies to its trained operatives, cadres and members,” said the NIA.

PFI offices were operating under the guise of educational institutions

Offices of the PFI and its frontal organisations were functioning from these premises under the guise of educational institutions. The five other PFI training centres attached previously by the NIA in Kerala were Malabar House, Periyar Valley, Valluvanad House, Karunya Charitable Trust and Trivandrum Education and Service Trust (TEST).

Another 12 PFI Offices, used by the outfit’s leadership intermittently to organise training in arms and physical training, ideological propagation, and training for the commission of various crimes, including murders and terrorist acts, have also been attached. NIA investigations have revealed that the PFI has been running many such training centres in the guise of charitable and educational trusts formed by the organisation’s members or leaders.
