The attached property — Green Valley Academy in Manjeri — is managed by ‘Green Valley Foundation’ (GVF) and was allegedly used by the cadres of National Development Front and subsequently by the PFI into which it merged. Spread over an area of 10 hectares, the Manjeri facility is the sixth arms training centre and eighteenth property of the outlawed outfit in Kerala to be attached as “proceeds of terrorism”.
PFI had been using the Green Valley Academy premises to impart arms training, physical training and explosives training to its cadres handpicked and groomed for the outfit’s ‘service wing’. Service wing was tasked with carrying out violent attacks against prominent leaders blocking PFI’s ultimate aim of establishing the rule of Islam in India by 2047. The facility was also used to harbour several PFI ‘service wing’ members after they committed crimes, including murders.
The five other PFI training centres in Kerala attached by NIA are Malabar House, Periyar Valley, Valluvanad House, Karunya Charitable Trust and Trivandrum Education and Service Trust (TEST). Another 12 PFI Offices, used by the outfit’s leadership intermittently to organise training in arms and physical training, ideological propagation, and training for commission of various crimes, including murders and terrorist acts, have also been attached.
NIA claimed its investigations have revealed that the PFI has been running many such training centres in the guise of charitable and educational trusts formed by the organisation’s members or leaders. Investigations have also revealed that the PFI had hired several buildings for running their training camps and activities relating to terror and violence, NIA said on Monday.
