<h1>ED Arrests Individual in SDPI Money Laundering Case Linked to Banned PFI Activities Under Investigation</h1> The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrested an individual from Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, as part of a money laundering investigation involving the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI), the political arm of the banned Popular Front of India (PFI). The arrest follows a series of searches conducted in Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, West Bengal, and Kerala. The ED claims an 'organic' relationship between the PFI and SDPI, with the latter allegedly serving as a political front for the former. The PFI was banned in September 2022 for alleged terrorist activities. The arrested individual is expected to appear before a special PMLA court.
