The National Investigation Agency (NIA) officials on Thursday carried out raids at multiple locations, including residences of second-rung leaders of the banned Islamist outfit Popular Front of India in Kerala.

The raids, which started on Wednesday night are still under way, sources in Kerala Police said.

Multi-agency teams spearheaded by the NIA had arrested several functionaries, including top leaders of the radical Islamic outfit, in September in near simultaneous raids at multiple locations in 15 states for allegedly supporting terror activities in the country.

Officials then had described the mega crackdown as the “largest-ever investigation process till date” against the PFI.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
