Cadres of the banned Students Islamic Movement of India (Simi) seem to be fast regrouping under the banner of the Popular Front of India (PFI), an outfit which has expanded its tentacles to North India after carrying out initial recruitments in the South.
According to an arrested militant Madoor Isubbu, a person considered a vital link in the terror groups-ISI-underworld-Naxals nexus, was aimed at keeping the flock of Simi together after it was banned on February 8, 2006.
Sources privy to the interrogation of Madoor said ISI and other terror modules in Pakistan were worried over the depleting cadre strength of SIMI.
