New Delhi: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Thursday arrested a key absconder in Kerala’s Sreenivasan murder case, linked with the banned Popular Front of India (PFI) terrorist organisation. Muhammadali K.P, the PFI Palakkad district president, was taken into custody on Thursday morning at the IGI Airport, New Delhi, on his arrival from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where he had been hiding for the past four years. With this, the total number of accused arrested in the case now stands at 67.
Among the 65 accused chargesheeted so far in the case, Muhammadali K.P is facing charges under relevant sections of IPC and UA (P) Act.
Hailing from Palakkad district in Kerala, the wanted accused was a prominent perpetrator of the murder conspiracy and had also harboured the assailants involved in the brutal killing of Sreenivasan on April 16, 2022. NIA had declared a reward of Rs 3 lakh for information leading to his arrest and an Interpol Red Notice was also issued against him.
Sreenivasan was killed by PFI cadres in pursuance of the PFI conspiracy to unleash terror with the nefarious agenda of establishing Islamic Rule in India by 2047.
