ED exposes PFI & SDPI's global terror financing network

India Jun 21, 2025

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) just uncovered a huge money trail—over ₹62 crore—allegedly moved by the Popular Front of India (PFI) and its political wing, SDPI.
Fake trusts and secret Hawala channels were used to fund terrorist training and spark communal violence, with cash coming in from both within India and the Gulf.

Faizy led the operation, say investigators

Investigators say MK Faizy, SDPI's national president, led the operation by disguising these funds as party income.
Others helped move money on the ground and from abroad.
The ED has already frozen accounts and seized assets, but this is just the beginning—more arrests are expected as they dig deeper, possibly with help from agencies outside India.
