PFI member held

NEW DELHI: The Delhi Police have arrested a member of the Popular Front of India (PFI) in connection with the protests against Citizenship (Amendment) Act or CAA in the national Capital.

"The Special Cell has alleged that the arrest of Mohd Danish, a resident of Trilokpuri area in east Delhi, is made for spreading false propaganda during anti-CAA protests," officials said.

Danish was later produced before Delhi's Patiala House Court and was sent to four days police remand.

Delhi was signed by the protests launched by different groups against the CAA, days after it was passed by Parliament in December last

year.

Several PFI members have been arrested or booked for violence during anti-CAA protests, more than a hundred such arrests have been made in Uttar Pradesh alone.

On December 4, 2019, the home ministry had sought information from all states about cases registered against PFI activists from November 2016 to November 2019 for anti-national activities.
