A master weapons trainer for the Popular Front of India (PFI) who was living in Karnataka under an assumed identity was taken into custody on Tuesday by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) for his involvement in the Nizamabad terror conspiracy case.
The case relates to a criminal conspiracy hatched by the leaders and frameworks of the now-restricted PFI to select and radicalise youth and furnish them with arms, preparing to advance and complete psychological oppressor exercises with a definitive target of laying out Islamic rule in India.
Nossam Mohamed Yunus of Nandyal, the accused, had gone missing along with his family before the NIA searched his house in September 2022.
According to NIA investigations, he had relocated his entire family from Andhra Pradesh and was living in Karnataka under a fictitious identity.
Yunus was a master weapons trainer who taught young people recruited by the PFI in the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana regions how to use weapons.
In the Nizamabad PFI case, he also served as the PE Training State Coordinator for these two states.
With his arrest, the NIA has once again exposed PFI's radical plans to divide the country and use innocent Muslim youth to sabotage peace and harmony among the country's communities.
Before NIA took over the case and re-registered it as (RC-03/2022/NIA/HYD), Telangana Police had first filed an FIR on July 4, 2022.
In this case, the NIA has already issued two chargesheets against 16 individuals.
In September 2022, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) declared PFI and its numerous affiliates to be an "unlawful association" after its involvement in violent activities was discovered during investigations by various state police units and national agencies.
