The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrested Wahidur Rahman Jainullabudeen, a prominent activist linked to the hardline group Popular Front of India (PFI) and its political wing Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI), as part of an ongoing money laundering investigation spanning four states.
The arrest, made in Coimbatore, is part of a crackdown against both groups. The ED’s investigation revealed that SDPI operatives had been depositing significant amounts of unaccounted cash into their accounts, which they falsely reported as donations. This is part of a larger money laundering operation being probed by the agency.
The investigation continues to unfold, with authorities tightening their focus on the financial networks involved in the operation. The ED has not ruled out more arrests as they delve deeper into the activities of PFI and SDPI.
