A special court in Mumbai rejected the bail plea of Mohammed Iqbal Khan, arrested by the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad in 2022 under anti-terror laws. The court observed that the Popular Front of India, banned in September 2022, promoted radical ideology. The prosecution claimed PFI engaged in anti-national activities while masquerading as social work. Khan has remained in custody since his arrest.
