Chennai, Mar 21: In a significant development, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has made a fresh arrest in Tamil Nadu in connection with its ongoing probe into the Popular Front of India (PFI) and Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) case.

According to sources, the arrested individual is suspected of playing a crucial role in financial transactions linked to the banned outfit. The ED has been actively investigating money laundering activities and foreign fund transfers allegedly used for unlawful activities.

The latest arrest comes as part of the agency’s broader crackdown on the PFI network, which has seen multiple arrests across the country. Officials have been tracking financial trails that reportedly reveal fund mobilization through hawala routes and offshore accounts.

Authorities stated that the accused would be produced before the special court, and further investigations are underway to identify others involved in the network.
The central agency had earlier arrested several PFI operatives and seized incriminating documents, digital evidence, and financial records during nationwide raids. The government had banned PFI in 2022 over allegations of anti-national activities.

With this latest arrest, the ED has intensified its efforts to dismantle the financial infrastructure of the organization. More arrests and legal proceedings are expected in the coming days.
