According to the NIA spokesman, its officers raided 10 premises of the accused and suspects in various places, including Patna, Darbhanga, East Champaran, Nalanda and Madhubani districts of Bihar in the case pertaining to the involvement of suspects associated with PFI in anti-national activities.

The NIA registered the case on July 22 night under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act following an order issued by the Counter Terrorism and Counter Radicalisation division of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) directing the agency to take over the investigation from Bihar Police.
