The Supreme Court on Wednesday granted bail to Abdul Sathar, then Secretary General of the Kerala unit of the now-banned Popular Front of India (PFI), in connection with the 2022 conspiracy case involving the murder of RSS worker Srinivasan in Palakkad, stating that no one can be jailed merely for their ideology.
The Supreme Court observed that the Kerala High Court had erred in granting bail to 17 accused Popular Front of India (PFI) workers, including those charged with the murder of RSS worker Srinivasan in Palakkad in April 2022.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) attached 35 immovable properties on 16 October, worth a total of ₹56.56 crore, linked to the banned Muslim organisation Popular Front of India (PFI).
The Kerala High Court has granted bail to Muhammed Haroon, the sixth accused in the murder of RSS worker Sanjith, observing that the alleged Popular Front of India membership is insufficient to “attract culpability.”
