Overview

  • The NIA revealed hit lists naming between 950 and 977 individuals in Kerala, including a former district judge and Hindu civil society leaders.
  • Investigators say the banned PFI operated through a Reporters Wing for reconnaissance, a Service Wing for killings and a Physical and Arms Training Wing for militant drills.
  • Surveillance by the Reporters Wing gathered detailed personal data — names, ages, photos and daily routines — on targets from other communities.
  • A special NIA court in Kochi denied bail to four PFI activists, including Muhammad Bilal and Riyasudheen, citing the gravity of charges under the UAPA.
  • The evidence ties the hit lists to a long-term “India2047” plan that aimed to establish Islamic rule through systematic elimination of opponents.
