A senior police officer said an FIR has been registered against two PFI activists under IPC sections 120 B (criminal conspiracy) and 153 A (promoting enmity between different groups), along with section 10/13 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act at Khajuri Khas police station, for allegedly planning and conspiring against the government and the country.

However, no arrests have been made yet in the matter, he said, adding investigation is underway.

This is the second case registered under the UAPA against the PFI members in the national capital.
