What’s inside:
This article discusses the recent arrest of a teacher linked to the banned group PFI in Bihar by the NIA.
The NIA has made a significant move in Bihar by arresting a man suspected to be associated with the banned organization, Popular Front of India (PFI). This incident took place in Kishanganj, where the police assisted the NIA in detaining the individual. The local community is now feeling uneasy following this event.
The arrested person has been identified as Mehboob Alam Nadvi, who is 39 years old and hails from Rahpur Banshibari in Katihar district. He was taken into custody near Haleem Chowk. Reports suggest that he was working as a teacher before his arrest.
Mehboob has a history with the law; a case against him was registered at the Phulwari Sharif police station in Patna in 2022. He was accused of involvement in terrorist activities and training in weapons. This case was later handed over to the NIA for further investigation.
It has come to light that Mehboob was once the president of the Bihar State PFI and became part of the organization in 2013. After being implicated in the Phulwari Sharif case, he fled to Oman for two years before returning to India to resume his teaching career.
The NIA is currently probing his connections in Kishanganj and the activities he carried out while working at the school. They are also expected to question the school management and staff. So far, charges have been filed against 17 individuals in this case, with one suspect arrested near Delhi Airport earlier this year.
